My name is Becca Lynn Uley. I was born on a Indian Reservation in Washington state. It's called La Push. I am the youngest of three kids. Sam is the oldest and the bosses. Paul is the second oldest and has the worst temper out of the three of us. Then there is I I am the baby of the family. My parents wanted a little girl, but after Sam they got Paul they were about to give up. I was a happy surprise. At least that is what Sam and Paul keep telling me. Anyway it wasn't long after I was born that our dad got sick and sadly passed away. I don't really remember him but, when I look at pictures of Sam and him they look just a like. There aren't very many pictures of me and our Dad together. I sometimes feel jealous for my two brothers because they got to get to know him when I didn't.
You would think that I have a normal life like any other thirteen year. But you are wrong you see both Sam and Paul are in the army.
It wasn't long after Paul had left for basic training when our mother was killed by a drunk driver leaving me in the care of my two brothers. But since they are both at basic training they can't care for me. So I am left to be taken care of by the tribe. I am currently living with Joy Ateara and her family.
This is my story and the letters between me and my brothers.
They are My Brothers, My Heroes.
