Meredith Spitzmiller

Mere Spitzmiller is a novelist, screenwriter and playwright who resides in Dayton, Ohio whose writing connects readers of all ages and celebrates families both biological and found.

Rumspringa

As dawn breaks, sunlight creeps into the mostly deserted parking lot of a decrepit convenience store. Abandoned items and trash litter the pockmarked asphalt. An exhausted young woman sits in the front seat of a filthy Chevy, so dirty, it’s hard to tell what color the car used to be. Kate slowly peels back the wrapper of a candy bar but does not consume a bite.
