Alicia was a high school dropout, and met her husband in her senior year, he was the first man to open a door for her. Alicia's husband was a paratrooper and died in Afghanistan. Her mother also died of unknown reasons, which triggered Alicia and her kids to move to her fathers farm.
Alicia lives on Willie McComb's 1000 acre farm, with no major roads or neighbors. The reason the aliens haven't attacked is the tree coverage, and to survive they trap rabbits, squirrels and catch crawdads in the creek to eat, and get water from the spring. Willie owns a gas generator on the farm, and was big on stockpiling before the invasion hit. Willie and Alicia have kept the war away from the kids, and have only had a few scares of explosions and rockets in the air. Alicia home schools her kids.
