On the Road to Change Hilda Creasy

On The Road to Change was a continuation of a story that was an assignment in Creative Writing Class twentyfour years ago. The yellowing pages had been shelved for all those years. After finishing my first book Doreen's Mountain Home, I re-read my instructor's note, and I quote! "Such believable characters, such an impact, you should make this into a novel and get Charlie to Washington D. C." She gave me an A. Our assignment was to go to a place we had never been and create a story about that place. I decided to write from a man's point of view as well. I finally took the challenge and created a fictional novel that has entertained me and I hope my readers will be as equally entertained. I have fallen in love with the place I have never been and it will be my next vacation. My main character is Charlie Lightfoot an imaginary person, half Salish Indian and half English. I have always been intrigued by the American Indians as I too have Cherokee blood and English blood. I love the west and the mountains and I admire the way people are able to survive in the worst of times and how they are able to create ways to keep body and soul together.
