Bree was alone in the dark, left to die in a world where no one cares if you fall flat off the face of the earth. It was a world where no light came to help you find your way to safety, to sanctuary, to home. Bree hadn't always been homeless. Her mother died after she was born. Her father was an alcoholic who lost his job, was extremely abusive and abandoned Bree in the middle of nowhere.
