After Christopher starts a six month regime of anti-depressants and anti-psychotic medications the reader will be swept away as the family walks and then runs with Christopher as he rages, becomes increasingly violent, suicidal and ultimately committed to psychiatric hospitals. Desperately buying into every diagnosis handed by the doctors the mother is shocked to find out what in fact caused Christopher's bizarre behavior in the first place.
