Brittney Bergeron was a fierce little 10 year old who loved her baby sister Kristyanna “Kissy” Cowan more than anything in the world. She sacrificed everything to take care of her and protect her anyway she could. When an evil revenge plot is devised by a 16 year old girl and her 19 year old brother that leaves Brittney and Kissy on the receiving end of vicious attack, Brittney shocks the world and demonstrates the true meaning of strength.
