"The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime  it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old.  At ten o'clock on a morning in early June she was sitting in the back seat of her mother's Dodge  Caravan, wearhing  her blue Red Sox Batting practice jersey (the one with the 36 Gordon on the back) and playing with Mona, her doll. At ten thrity she was lost in the woods. By eleven she was trying not to be terrified, trying not to let herself think, This is serious, this is very serious. Trying not to think that sometimes when people get lost in the woods they got seriously hurt. Sometimes they died."
