Blanca has everything she ever wanted, a hot boyfriend named Seth and the loving support of her foster father, Cal. She’s finally escaped the abusive control of her birth father, Barbelo Nemo, and her tortured childhood at Tabula Rasa School.
But the scars of Blanca’s Vestal upbringing run deep, especially when the FBI start asking questions. Blanca feels abandoned by Seth who is hunting for Lilith, Blanca’s only blood relative. The Defectos, a support group of Vestal-Rejects, offer Blanca comfort instead.
While the Vestal order crumbles, Chinese rivals called the Guardians rise to power and wrest control of important Tabula Rasa contacts. Now Blanca’s life is in peril once more, and this time, Blanca struggles to recognize friend from foe.

Eighteen-year-old Blanca has lived a sheltered life. Her entire childhood has been spent at Tabula Rasa School where she’s been protected from the Internet.
Blanca has never been online and doesn’t even know how to text. Her lack of a virtual footprint makes her extremely valuable, and upon graduation, Blanca and
those like her are sold to the highest bidders.
Blanca is purchased by Cal McNeal, who uses her to achieve personal gain. But the McNeals are soon horrified by just how obedient and non-defiant Blanca is.
All those mind-numbing years locked away from society have made her mind almost impenetrable.
By the time Blanca is ready to think for herself, she is trapped. Her only chance of escape is to go online.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW with Jennifer Bardsley
What gave you the
inspiration for the storyline?
GENESIS GIRL had a conclusive ending, but there
were still some loose ends. In DAMAGED GOODS, I wanted to answer “What happens
next?” Was Blanca too messed up by her childhood to have a real relationship
with Seth? Would Headmaster Russell ever be brought to justice? Would Fatima
and Beau have their baby? Revisiting my characters felt like a family reunion,
and it was fun to put them through their paces again.
Are there any hidden
themes in the book that you hope readers will discover?
Adoption has played a big part of my life, and
there is an adoption thread throughout the Blank Slate Series. The concept of
there being many ways to create families plays a
big role in Blanca’s world.
Are any of the
characters based on real people you know?
None of the characters are based on real people. However
I put a lot of myself into the character of Pilar. I’m not a supermodel, but I
do get pretty heated when it comes to protecting my children.
Who has influenced
you most as a writer?
I was blessed
with some wonderful teachers growing up.
The one who taught me most about writing was my father, who helped me learn how
to revise essays when I was in middle school and high school.
If you could have any
three literary characters over to your place for game night, who would you
invite, what would you play, what would
you serve, and why?
I’d invite
Mark Twain, Carrie Fisher, and L.M. Montgomery to play Monopoly. We eat in the backyard so cigar smoke didn’t get
everywhere, and have an all you could eat pizza bar.
