(How is a woman in her thirties, HIV-positive and fresh ou...)
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.

Emily Carter was born in December 1960 in New York City, New York, United States; the daughter of Jack Richardson and Anne Roiphe. She grew up in the neighborhood of New York City’s Park Avenue, but her teenage years were not typical. Her stepfather, Herman Roiphe, is a well-known psychotherapist.
Emily Carter studied at Robert Louis Stevenson School for Gifted Underachievers. Though she came from a background in which intellectual pursuits were encouraged, Carter did poorly in school and began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen. Carter attended New York University but dropped out after only one semester.
For a time Emily Carter worked on and off as a topless dancer to support her drug habit. At the same time, however, she was writing poetry and fiction and giving readings at literary clubs around Greenwich Village. She also worked as a columnist for Pulse, newspaper, in Minneapolis, and was a teacher at Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. Carter was able to beat her drug habit but discovered that years of drug abuse had left her with several health problems.
Carter’s book, Glory Goes and Gets Some came out in 2000.
Emily Carter’s Glory Goes and Gets Some has received many awards including the Loft and McKnight Awards, a Bush Grant, and a National Magazine Award.

Jack Carter Richardson was born on the 18th of February, 1934 and died on the 1st of July, 2012. He was an American writer and playwright. His most significant contribution to American drama has been his iconoclastic experimentation with paradox and such various elements of the theatre as existential situations, myth, historical settings, realistic staging techniques, the conventions of the morality play, and bizarre characters. Richardson is one of the few talented individuals who utilized the exhortation for rebellion and experimentation from the 1960s to produce a brand of theatre that is both good and unique.
Anne (Roth) Roiphe was born on the 25th of December, 1935 in New York City. She is an American feminist and author whose novels and nonfiction explore the conflicts between women’s traditional family roles and the desire for an independent identity. Her first novel, Digging Out, appeared in 1966.
In 1978, Roiphe wrote an article in the New York Times on how her family displayed a Christmas tree each year. Roiphe wrote her first nonfiction book, Generation Without Memory in 1981. On the 7th of June, 2004, Anne Roiphe was awarded the Jewish Cultural Achievement Award for Literary Arts from the National Foundation for Jewish Culture.
