Excerpt from The Housing Crisis by Kate McLay

Despite her mother fretting that she’d end up dead in a gutter after her six months in Chicago, Alyssa thought that she was doing pretty good. It didn’t make the phone calls home any less stressful, and every worried text or email was a simple reminder of two things:

1. Her mother did not trust her to look after herself.

2. She would always be the baby of the family.

But she’d known the second fact for as long as she could remember. That’s what happened when you were the youngest of seven kids. It had been hard to move away. She and her brothers and sisters were close, except for her older brother Johnny, who’d cut himself off from the family when she was five. She’s been thinking about Johnny a lot since leaving home. He as the only one who’d made it out of Iowa; the farthest any of her other siblings had moved was to the Quad Cities. And yet here she was, living it up in Chicago, college degree in hand, a paying job putting food on the table, and a roommate that wasn’t a total nightmare. At times she wanted to just grin at the thought of her independence, but she was riding the L right now and that might give someone the wrong impression. She didn’t want trouble.
