But when she wanders off by herself, and then tries to catch up by attempting a shortcut, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror.

For solace she tunes her Walkman to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her her, relief picher Tom Gordon.
