Emily Carter. 2000.

This is a "streetwise and sardonic look at sex, HIV, addiction, and recovery." The stories were originally published in The New Yorker. These are stories about the twelve-step recovery program for chemical addictors. Even though this program has its faults, it did work for Glory. Carter has done a remarkable job in tracing "one woman's journey from town houses on Park Avenue and apartments on the Lower East Side, to Minnesota's recovery community of boarding-houses in blighted urban neighborhoods and well-funded treatment centers in bucolic pastures." A recommended book for public and college libraries.
