At 57, Claudia Lillibridge wasn't looking for a new career. She needed a hobby that paid-and a way to help keep the lights on at her beloved community theatre.
Enter Walmart.
As a part-time Digital Shopper in Online Pickup and Delivery, Claudia expected sore feet, long shifts, and more grocery bags than she could count. She did not expect The Cart to develop a personality, Sunday afternoons to become an obstacle course, or a single package of Doublemint gum to raise so many questions.
Between impossible pick walks, mysterious customer orders, dancing in Home Goods, and one very important rubber duck, Claudia discovered humor, friendship, kindness, and something she believed grief had taken from her forever.
Pick Walks, People, and Everything In Between is a funny, tender, and deeply personal short memoir about the dignity of ordinary work, the people we meet along the way, and the surprising places where a heart can begin to wake up again.
