“Trisha McFarland has only veered off the trail to get away from the bickering of her brother and recently divorced mother.  She doesn’t think there’s any chance of losing her way.  Except, in her panic to get back on the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth.  Deeper and deeper into the terrifying woods.  At first, it’s just the midges and mosquitos, hanging around her ears like helicopters, trying to drink her blood and sip her sweat.  Then the hunger.  For solace she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon.  And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her.”
