Personal Shopper

Mary has spent three years shoplifting clothes for her neighbors-people who work hard but can't afford department store prices. She uses a fake mental illness diagnosis to avoid arrest, hiding her real secret: she never learned to read well and has always felt invisible. When security guard David catches her, he doesn't call the police. Instead, he offers her a job as a personal shopper at Macy's.
Mary thinks he's crazy. She's not smart enough for a real job. She can barely read. But David sees what Mary doesn't-that she has a gift for understanding what people need. With the support of Tommy, her grave-digger boyfriend who has always believed in her, Mary takes a chance on herself for the first time in her life. What starts as a minimum wage job becomes something bigger: a career, a purpose, and proof that everyone has value-even when the world has told them otherwise. Personal Shopper is a heartwarming novella about finding dignity in honest work, the power of believing in someone, and discovering that sometimes getting caught is the best thing that can happen to you.
