Glory Goes and Gets Some: Stories Paperback - 2000

by Emily Carter

Carter's stories link and overlap to form a book-length narrative about the trials and tribulations of Glory, now in her thirties and HIV-positive. Once the adored little girl of professionals, she became a rowdy drunk, and then an opiate abuser living in a down-and-out Minneapolis neighborhood.


From the publisher

How is a woman in her thirties, HIV-positive and fresh out of rehab, supposed to find love and work in contemporary, urban America? Emily Carter's critically acclaimed debut traces Glory's journey from her addictions to heroin and alcohol in New York to her rebirth in Minnesota's recovery community. Glory Goes and Gets Some is a streetwise and sardonic look at sex, HIV, addiction, and recovery.
