Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (by Vicki Ziegler)
Over the course of a book-length story or exploration of a subject, characters and authors often embark on significant life journeys, resulting in major awakenings, changes in direction, outlook or circumstances, or in outright transformations. Here are some Canadian books where writers and central characters go through immense ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - sometimes to their detriment, sometimes to their benefit, and always to readers’ entertainment and edification.
