title: The Will to Win
author: Davy, Patrick A.
description: Bonita Stickles is a college senior who decides to start searching for a man to marry and for whom to have a child. With her still living with her preacher father and missionary mother, there are many moral standards and religious principles that she must uphold. Upholding her beliefs is difficult for her to do since her beliefs conflict with how she thinks she should carry herself to attract a man. She forces herself to disregard her beliefs and dresses to attract the man she hopes will become her husband and baby's father. Soon, her problems start to range from an unplanned pregnancy to feeling the effects of the war in Iraq. She also experiences the uncertainties of becoming pregnant and having a second child. However, each problem gives her more impetus to continue reaching for her goals. Patrick A. Davy has over fifteen years experience in writing in the adult and children fiction genre. He is also the author of The Little Big Thinkers: A Collection of Children's Stories. He graduated from the State University of New York College at Oswego. He lives on Long Island, New York, with his wife and two sons.
