From her addictions to heroin and alcohol in New York through her unlikely, tenuous, yet rewarding alliances with the full range of treatment mavens in the midwest, Glory gives us an uncensored and irreverent account of her experiences in twelve-step recovery a process that, for all its faults, ultimately works for her. \"That first six months, there were an awful lot of people I met who talked the talk, all the time. Their faces seemed to glow, and they'd go on about so-and-so getting it, getting the program, having that much-touted aura of serenity about them. It was my experience that such persons usually relapsed and stole their roommate's stereo equipment, or charged five thousand dollars worth of lingerie at Neiman Marcus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlory Goes and Gets Some\u003c\/i\u003e is a streetwise and sardonic look at sex, HIV, addiction, and recovery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Carter\u003c\/b\u003e's work has received many awards and fellowships, including the Loft\/McKnight Award, a Bush Grant, and a National Magazine Award.
