content: My father pushed The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon at me for 10 years but I wouldn't read it. I was mad at Stephen King because he had let me down, selling out to write gory horror movies during his drug & alcohol addiction spell. He was on the wagon (and thankfully still is) when he wrote this one though. While obstensibly a simple story of a girl lost in the woods (with some scary stuff thrown in - it IS SK still), it is also, like The Stand (my fave book by him), very much about God. I get it now, Daddy!
