A nostalgic journey into the life of these Wisconsin shopping meccas—including photos and illustrations. For well over a century, Milwaukee shoppers have had Gimbels or Schuster’s in their lives. Even if they didn’t crave sewing notions or prize-winning apple pies, they were watching holiday parades wind by, tuning in for Billie the Brownie’s radio updates, or losing themselves in front of one of the department stores’ fabulous window displays. Not only were they magical places to shop but also wonderful places to work, creating the kind of community where a kid might come in to help out with the Christmas rush and stay for twenty-five years. Enjoy this loving trip through the history of these beloved stores, from their arrival in Milwaukee in the 1880s through the 1962 merger and beyond.

When they’re seen alone together, Nicklaus’s career is threatened by a Komitee investigation that questions his honor. Must he choose art over a future that might include lasting love?

Can she conquer her fears and grow as a woman or risk everything for Nicklaus and his dreams? Etch of a Promise, inspired by the courage of European immigrants and Holder’s family stories, weaves 1880s German history and culture into a romantic tale of a wandering artist, a woman’s conflict with social injustice and the price of love.
