On The Edge: Hostility, Hardship, and the Humour that Saved Me by Jim Morgan-Local Author New

For fourteen years, Jim Morgan was one of Vancouver's most despised figures.

In On the Edge: Hostility, Hardship, and the Humour that Saved Me, he delivers a raw, darkly funny memoir about life on the frontlines of public service—and the invisible toll it takes on those who show up anyway.

As a Vancouver Parking Enforcement Officer, Jim endured daily abuse, threats, and dehumanization—all while navigating personal loss, unresolved trauma, and PTSD. With razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, he exposes the realities behind a job most people never think twice about.

Inside, readers will find:

* A first-hand account of public hostility and workplace abuse
* The emotional cost of frontline enforcement work
* How dark humour became a survival tool
* An honest reckoning with grief, PTSD, and recovery
* Moments of humanity that arrive when least expected

Perfect for readers of The Night the Lights Went Out by Drew Magary, Educated by Tara Westover, and What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo, On the Edge sits at the intersection of memoir, mental health, and public service reality.

This is not a redemption story.
It’s a survival story.
And sometimes, survival is the only victory that matters.
