History:
Birthplace: Missoula, Montana
Family: Parents Lorraine and Joseph Miles. Grandfather Joseph Miles Sr.
Friends: A few, but most of her school friends left for college after senior year. And they are all back in Missoula the ones that are left.
History:
Joey was born to her parents late in life and into a home already thwart with money troubles. Her grandfather, Joseph Sr., suffers from dementia and was unable to live alone so he has been living with her parents since long before she was born. Joseph Jr. was injured at work through all fault of his own and as a result received no aid money from his job or the state. Joseph Jr. had been a horse wrangler since he was a child. Late in the summer of 1998 he was out on the ranch when a young Colt was spooked by a snake and bucked as the animal landed her shattered Joseph’s leg completely. Although he could walk it was the end of his riding days due to the weakness in his leg.
Growing up money was always the biggest concern, issue and argument in the household. Welfare checks from the state for her grandfather covered little for a house with 4 people. Her mother was always working some job and her father has always done what he could, but it isn’t much. Her grandfather on good days is the same beautiful and loving man she remembers from her childhood; but those days are getting fewer.
Joey always has her nose in some book or other. A trait her mother says she picked up from her grandfather who had her reading the news paper from front to back from the moment she could read. Her mother also blames Joseph Sr. for Joey’s dreams of writing for the New York Times as a feature writer or the Arts section. Her passion for arts is all from her mother who had an art scholarship to Washington State, but Lorraine was blinded by love and her and Joseph Jr married and moved to Montana to work on a horse ranch that his uncle own.
Through out school Joey worked hard with her grades in the hope of getting into college on a scholarship. Unfortunately it never happened for her and as a result she left school with no college plans in her future. She was editor of the Hellsgate High School Newspaper after rising up from a freshman runner. She was also an avid member of the Year Book Club.
The family has recently returned to the Forks after finally giving up the failing ranch back in Missoula, Montana. They have returned to the run down house that her grandfather built in the early 50s and her mother grew up in. The house is in the nearby town of Bogachel. Joseph Jr. has found a position that lets him work from home he now works filling mailers and envelopes from home. Working from home means he can care for his father during the day. Lorraine works two cleaning jobs, one at the school and the other at the hospital just to keep the house ticking over with money. Joey helps out where she can with the little money she gets from the café.
