All Ducky wants is the comfort of his familyâbut when theyâre around, he feels lonelier than ever
Ducky has been worried about Alex ever since the party at Jayâs, when Alex âaccidentallyâ tried to hurt himself. He canât talk to Sunny about itâsheâs got enough going on with her terminally ill mom. Jay is still hanging with the Cro Mags, the jocks who push Ducky around. And Duckyâs older brother, Ted, just wouldnât understand.
Fortunately, Christmas is around the corner and his parents are coming back from Ghana, so Ducky will finally have the family support heâs desperately been missing. But when they return, the McCraes donât seem to care about whatâs been going on in Duckyâs world, either, and canât wait to leave again. With no one to turn to for advice, Ducky decides to confront Alexâand his deepest fears are confirmed. This time, thereâs no mistaking Alexâs actions for an accident.
