Alicia was born and raised into a strong, generational Mormon family in the epicenter of the LDS Church: Alpine, Utah. In high school, as a faithful and active member of the Mormon Church, Alicia met fellow Latter-day Saint Micah Wilder and fell in love. When Micah was on his LDS mission, he challenged Alicia to read the New Testament, which sent Alicia on a painful journey of coming to know the true and living God of the Bible.
