I know you said you're not ready for another Stephen King book, but I wonder if you've read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. It's not a normal "horror", it's something quite different from him, I think. If you haven't read it, it's about a a nine year old girl who gets lost in the woods while hiking with her mother and brother. It's one of my favourite King books, although to be honest, I have spoken to people who hated it. It's on Audible, read by the late Anne Heche, who did a really good job, I think.
