Indy Lindsey
Indy Lindsey was born in Louisiana, raised in Mississippi, resided in Ohio, then moved back to Louisiana to settle down; that is until life as she knew it was turned upside down by Hurricane Katrina. That storm became a pivotal moment in her life because the comfort zone that she became accustomed to was no more. She decided to make Atlanta, Georgia her new home and was determined to adapt to the new environment and make a better life for her family regardless to how many hurdles she would have to jump. As a youth, Indy loved writing and had inspirations of becoming a writer one day; however, a tumultuous life overshadowed those dreams. It became an everyday struggle trying to figure out the right path to take. A divorced single mother eventually realized her purpose while one day joking with her sons. Her passion for writing, which had become a faded memory, manifested itself. She began her quest by creating material that was indicative of the many struggles she had faced. Overcoming adversity is not biased to gender, race, nationality, or status and she wanted to construct relatable material by taking the demonstrative approach. Indy is full of passion, and it is displayed throughout her book. Her hope is to change lives of those that have been faced with the same challenges. This is not the last you will hear about Indy Lindsey. She's just getting started!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FIRST AND FOREMOST, I thank God for never giving up on me and loving me when I truly didn’t deserve it. You have been my rock during my weakest moments in life and I thank you Jesus. You never cease to amaze me! As an adolescent, I had hopes of writing one day, but never followed through. You knew my passion, gave me the vision, and placed me in position for it to finally come to pass. My love for you is infinite.
Secondly, I want to thank my mom, although you are no longer here on this earth, I know you’re smiling down on me. You always said, I can do anything I set my mind to doing. Your weaknesses during your struggles when I was growing up helped to make me stronger. You did the best you knew how with what you were given. Words cannot express how much I love and miss you, Mom.
Third, I want to thank my family that I rarely get to see, because in some form or fashion each of you impacted my life. Gabrielle (my Munchiedo), Raja, Malachi, Isaiah, Amethyst, Anteria, Mia, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews. Just because you’re out of sight, does not mean you’re out of mind. I love you.
Next, I want to thank my sister, Mary. Growing up we were two peas in a pod. Wherever I went, most of the time you were sure to follow. We started this journey together with our books. I know I constantly nag you about your procrastination, but that’s because I want you to live up to your full potential little sis. Life has been something serious for us, but our best and brightest days are still ahead. I love you!
Finally, I want to thank the man who told me to keep my head up. He taught me that it was ok to ask if I didn’t know because even the genius ask questions. Yes, I’m talking about Tupac Shakur. Words cannot express what you mean to me because of the impact you made in my life. Through a very dark period in my life when my father and I could not see eye to eye, your lyrics and interviews helped to transform my life. Your honesty and transparency were beyond refreshing because you shared with the world who you were even though many took it for granted, I embraced it. You taught me that against all odds it was ok to stand up for what I believe. Most importantly, you taught me to stay true to myself. Yes, sometimes my big mouth gets me in trouble, but when I’m right, I refuse to be silenced. Sometimes when I feel like throwing in the towel, all I can hear you saying is handle it, so I do! Thank you, Pac, for being my ambassador of subjectivity. My love for you is immeasurable. Long live ‘The Realest’. .
INTRODUCTION
A QUEST IS about seeking something of importance to the individual. That quest may be a journey for happiness, success, stability or perhaps a relationship. Some of you may ask, what is a W
(pronounced dub) A W
is a win or the willingness to win. In life, we all strive in some form or fashion to be victorious in our endeavors regardless to what they are and ultimately, we are all not that different, just our tactics when it comes to winning. We attempt to place ourselves in situations that we believe will allow us to be successful not fully contemplating the outcome. I’m a firm believer that negative thinking patterns are often the root of the problem and produces failure because our actions are direct results of our thoughts. Let’s be honest, when it comes to the end-result, sometimes people set aside morals all in the name of the W
