What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from, she thought absently. For better or worse, that is what we have to sustain us in our endevors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift. Terry Brooks
About This Quote

Natalie Brooks was a student at the Tree Hill High School that lives in Tree Hill, North Carolina. She has a secret, even though she didn’t know until she was 12 years old. Her mother is dead and her father is very much alive. He is the owner of the Perk Up Café in Tree Hill, North Carolina.

Nat’s mother died when she was only 6 years old. Her mother had been killed by a mysterious assassin known as The Organization. However, her father never told her who really killed her mother because he believed that if she knew the truth, it would have given her an advantage over him that she did not have.

As time passed, Nat grew to accept what happened to her mother and did not let it upset her life too much. She didn’t want to know about the past or what happened to her mother because it would make her feel like she had lost something important when she didn’t really have anything important to lose in the first place.
