The story begins with Trisha, a nine-year-old girl, going on a hike with her mother and older brother. Trisha is not particularly interested in hiking and is more focused on her Walkman and the Boston Red Sox game that she is listening to. However, when she needs to use the bathroom, she veers off the trail and becomes lost in the woods.
As the hours pass, Trisha becomes increasingly scared and disoriented. She tries to retrace her steps but only ends up getting more lost. She begins to hallucinate and imagines that she is being followed by a bear and a man with a dog. She also starts to hear the voice of her hero, Tom Gordon, a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.
Trisha is a big fan of Tom Gordon and has a poster of him in her room. She imagines that he is with her in the woods, helping her to find her way back to civilization. She talks to him and asks for his guidance, and he responds with words of encouragement and advice.
As the days pass, Trisha becomes weaker and more desperate. She is hungry, thirsty, and scared. She tries to find food and water but is unsuccessful. She also tries to signal for help by leaving messages on trees and rocks, but no one comes to her rescue.
Trisha’s hallucinations become more vivid, and she starts to see visions of her family and friends. She also has a conversation with her father, who is a divorced alcoholic. Trisha blames herself for her parents’ divorce and feels guilty for not being able to make her father happy.
As Trisha’s condition worsens, she begins to lose hope. She thinks about giving up and dying in the woods. However, she remembers the words of Tom Gordon and decides to keep fighting. She finds a stream and drinks from it, which gives her the strength to keep going.
Finally, after nine days in the woods, Trisha is rescued by a search party. She is taken to the hospital and treated for dehydration and exposure. She is reunited with her family, who are overjoyed to see her alive.
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a powerful and moving story about survival, courage, and the power of the human spirit. Trisha’s journey through the woods is a metaphor for the struggles that we all face in life.
