26 year old Indah has recently moved from Sumba - a poverty stricken slum in Southern Indonesia - to Perth, Western Australia. Arriving with her  son, and nothing but the clothes on her back and a hundred dollars to her name, she ends on the doorstep of her Uncle Sam, who begrudgingly agrees to take her in until she gets on her feet. Determined to build a life for herself and her four year old son, she sets out trying to make her way in the world.  Ultimately, out of desperation, and in order to make ends meet - she falls into prostitution, and thus - ends up in a world of fast money, temptation and potential danger.  Can she use the industry to ignite her dreams and get on her own feet - before it destroys her?  Compelling and riveting, Becoming Rachel is a story about hope, survival and the fierce love of a mother as she struggles to provide a better life for her son, and ultimately - for herself.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION There are imperfect moments in every life-but sometimes, there are perfect accidents . . . What's the point of pretending nothing has changed when everything has? It's the last summer before college, and Jonas Avery knows he should be excited. Instead, he hides out at home, avoiding his friends, his family, and everything that resembles his old life. Because nothing will be normal again-because of The Accident, when everything started falling apart. Brennan Davis knows she needs to stand up and face her anxiety-the deep, dark, debilitating dread that rules her everyday life. Because what stops her from going out into the world and just living is going to get a whole lot worse. She's leaving for college in the fall, where she'll be confronted with even more to worry about. To get back up sometimes you have to fall down, hard . . . When Jonas crashes into Brennan-in a harmless, albeit embarrassing fender bender-the two teens connect in ways they never expected. As friends, they help each other overcome their biggest falls and faults, and soon discover that while love can't fix everything, it's sometimes a place to start. Sensitive, wry, and unabashedly authentic, The Opposite of Falling Apart isn't about finding perfection in another person or fixing the things we think are broken. Instead, Micah Good has penned an enchantingly honest novel about accepting the very pieces of ourselves that make us unique, whole, and undeniably human.
