Spinach

By Stuart Schulz

Seven-year-old J.R. Saltzman Jr. is growing up in a household where dinner table battles over vegetables are taken seriously, and family stories carry more weight than he fully understands. His grandfather, a retired Marine, and his grandmother, Ann, try to keep life ordinary, even as hints of the past and the wider world keep slipping through, from evenings at a local veterans' bar to quiet concerns about J.R.'s parents working overseas.

When a mysterious guardian angel named Angelina begins appearing to J.R., his world shifts in ways he cannot explain. Drawn into a situation that reached far beyond his small town and into a tense military-linked crisis in Germany, J.R. is forced to face situations no child should encounter alone. As danger closes in on home and family, what begins as a simple childhood struggle over growing up strong turns into something much larger, where courage, protection, and belief are tested in unexpected in unexpected ways.
