Killer Stories. Brave. Raw. Witty.  
Fiercely candid and deeply moving.

"Brave. Raw. Witty. Carrie Schiffler writes about her troubled youth with a remarkable blend of honesty and humour. Her unstoppable perseverance for a better life is palpable. Fiercely candid and deeply moving, these stories radiate hope, compassion and resilience." —­LANA PESCH, Author/Producer/Skydiver

From the Corner of Bad and Ass is a collection of Carrie Schiffler’s memories about growing up in welfare housing to absentee and alcoholic parents. Throughout these heart-wrenching and often-hilarious stories we cheer her on as she fights to survive domestic violence, sexual abuse, and cycles of poverty and addiction — all before her 18th birthday. Prepare to laugh at her attempts to earn the attention she craves and prepare to cry over the inappropriate attention she receives.

What they say

“Carrie’s wry sense of humour and disciplined control of tone never allow her story to become maudlin. Rather, she narrates these difficult events in the hope of inspiring others to do the same as part of their own journey.
— EUGENE STICKLAND, Author and Playwright

“Carrie’s fearlessness and unshakeable belief in herself give this book strength, hopefulness, and true compassion. It’s a tribute to rising above and through terrible situations that could easily drag anyone down to a point that they’d never get up again.”
— Tom Phillips , Songwriter and Musician
