When her abusive, cheating husband yells at her to "just hold it" while he drives them to the wedding of a friend, something snaps.
It was the most shocking, most appalling thing Joanna Lucas had ever done in her life!
This award-winning book depicts life in a small-town with illegal immigration, prejudice, and small town politics but it is outrageous characters that have you forgetting what this book is really about. Based on real life events, Damaged Goods is a must read for anyone and everyone who cherishes true friends, taking a stand against the bad guys, and righting the wrong in your corner of the world -- however small that corner may be.
This one-of-a-kind book will have you laughing and quoting out loud.
Can one person really make a difference in this world? You bet. Read on ...

This is such a complex story (large cast of characters, different points of view, lots of subplots, almost a double story arc) and yet, it works. The characters were memorable and lively and the tensions built perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it and laughed aloud not a few times. A lot of reviewers are comparing this book to Steel Magnolias and Erin Brockovich. You know what? I like this book better. Jess Brown
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I was approached with an ARC, I wasn't sure it was my cup of tea, but after hosting a guest post on the blog tour, I became intrigued. I'm glad I did because this was one awesome tale. The author has a way of drawing you into the story so you feel as if you're a part of all the crazy--and there's lots of crazy in this one! I have to admit that one of my all time favorite characters was Eduardo the beer-drinking emu. You'll have to read it to understand. Sarah Aisling
Brilliant. This book is going to stay with me for ages. Yes, it's hilariously funny. Yes, it's about friendships and girl power. But what really sets this book apart is its heartbreaking environmental message. It is absolutely shocking that this story is based on fact. Andrea (Mrs Aubergine), Goodreads
The epic battle will have the reader cheering and despairing until the surprising end.
Many reasons make this novel extraordinary. First of all, the subject matter touches on serious issues which should concern us all. Then, you'll be amazed by the writing style. Alexandra Allred captures her readers' attention with the wonderful pace of her story. Damaged Goods is a page turner if ever there was one.
