Easter at Glosser's

About this ebook
Step back in time to Easter, 1935 at Glosser Bros. Department Store in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The display windows bloom with brightly colored decorations, and the smell of roasting peanuts fills the air. Each child gets a free baby chick for the holiday, and a rabbit comes with the purchase of each boys’ suit. When eight-year-old Owen Talisman gets his free (yet priceless) Easter pets, life with his special new bunny takes a surprising twist that changes everything. Decades later, Owen faces another turning point, one that could take away his hopes and dreams forever. But his great-grandson, and the magic of Easter at Glosser’s, refuse to give up on him. Don't miss this new Easter classic by Robert Jeschonek, award-winning author of LONG LIVE GLOSSER’S and CHRISTMAS AT GLOSSER’S.

S orry, no autographs.
The old man shook his head sadly. I don't do that sort of thing anymore.
C'mon, please?
The twentysomething woman who'd asked for the autograph pressed a pen and folded-up white envelope at the old man. I've loved your work since I was a kid, Mr. Talisman. And I'm only in Johnstown for the day.
Owen Talisman, a tall man in a long black overcoat and black fedora hat, shook his head again, keeping his hands stuffed in his coat pockets. I'm sorry.
Then he kept walking up Somerset Street along the Stonycreek River.
The young man who'd been walking with him--his 17-year-old great-grandson, Ethan--shrugged apologetically at the autograph seeker. Sorry.
No worries.
The autograph seeker smiled and gave her long blonde hair a toss. "I'm just glad I finally got to meet Owen Talisman in the flesh."
Ethan smiled back, charming as ever with his curly brown hair, brown eyes, and dimples. Then, he turned and jogged to catch up with his 89-year-old great-grandfather.
Some things never changed. People of all ages still loved Owen Talisman's books, especially the Bunnyburg series. They still recognized him from his photos on the books' covers and approached him on the street (or in the grocery store or doctor's office or bank) in search of autographs.
But other things did change. Owen never gave out those autographs anymore, not since that fateful day three and a half months ago. Not since Christmas, when he'd lost his partner, the illustrator of his books.
The woman who had also been his wife.
She isn't following us, is she?
Owen didn't look back or stop walking up the sidewalk when he asked the question.
Nope.
Ethan fell in step beside him. She's gone, Pap.
That was what he'd called Owen as far back as he could remember--just Pap,
because it was easier than Great-Grandfather
or Great-Grandpa.
Owen had a nickname for Ethan, too: Chip, as in chip off the old block.
He said it was because Ethan reminded him of himself as a boy, especially because Ethan was the first family member who seemed to share Owen's writing talent and interest. Owen liked to say he saw that special spark
in Ethan, the same one that had given Owen such a long and successful writing career.
Though it was true, Owen hadn't said
