"Like so many other kids gone wrong from my time, place, and class, I thought it was glamorous to be self-destructive. Unfortunately, I had always known that this was a stupid and callow way to think. I knew that self-destruction was a vile method of slumming; I knew that there were people who got destroyed whether they wanted to on not. Here was Glory, beloved baby girl of professional parents, going into neighborhoods her great-grandfather had worked all his life to get out of, sniffing around for heroin, the opiate of the people. Marie Antoinette in her little peasant dress, Glory in her leather jacket. I knew all this, and yet I couldn’t stop."

— Emily Carter, from Glory Goes and Gets Some
