Reactions and Reviews

This was published in one of the VP Chronicles and shows how much healing and change can take place within a week's time. Hutch's grandmother kept a journal of one week of her life, chronicling what happened in 7 days. Hutch decides to do the same thing with a week of his life, May 7-13, 1979. He and Starsky needed to get away and get over the rift that came between them, so Hutch's parents arranged for them to stay at a friend's mansion in San Diego county... There will be changes, revelations, and a few precursors to what's to come. Sometimes, your heart knows things before your head does. And sometimes, your head knows them long before they happen. Starsky's afraid, but not of what Hutch thinks. Hutch's parents are accepting, but in a completely different way than you would first believe. They hurt each other and they break down the walls between each other over the course of this week. Starsky and Hutch get down to what's really the matter, not the symptoms, but the bottom line disease. Once they get through that, the rest of it is easy to build back up. [1]
