Dinah Horton, a girl raised in Gilead. One of its most devoted believers. Of course she is. How could she not be? Her father is a High Commander, and her Grandfather is a Son of Jacob. To her, this is how life should be.
During her unplanned break from Aunt Lydia's school, she finally gets what she wants: her period. It allows her to finally go back to school. To finally become a Green. In the world of Gilead, that makes all the difference. It means you're an adult now and that your life is about to change. Only it wasn't about to change the way she wanted.
It forces her to take off her rose colored glasses for Gilead and look closely at the cracks in the fragile glass that start to show. From there, she realizes life might have more planned for her than she thought.
