    Summary

    Jinx isn’t a handmaid because she’s obedient - she was probably the furthest thing from it. She was a handmaid because her body still worked and because they had tracked her family through the lanes as they tried to escape from the Lanes. That’s all it took in Gilead—just one working womb and a long enough record of bad behaviour to land a person in a red dress and under someone else's roof as they were called a whore.

    Her new Commander, Silco, is powerful, polished, and broken in all the wrong ways - cruel, caring and a special brand of fucked up that she couldn't stay away from. His Wife, Mel, is cold, brilliant, and hates Jinx more than she hates herself as she tries to come to terms with her political marriage. Together, they make the perfect couple on the streets of Gilead, with their picture-perfect handmaid behind them.

    She was just the bruised fruit on display as they tried to paint the portrait of a god-loving, law-abiding family that they were anything but.

    She’s supposed to sit still, shut up, and pray for salvation.
    Instead, she plans on surviving. Barely.
