Born in Missouri, she grew up in Dallas, Texas. She went to the University of Texas and started her journalism career at United Press International (UPI).

Her work has also appeared in The New York Times, Fortune, USA Today, and the International Herald Tribune.

Emling has written and published several books, mostly biographies of remarkable women.
The New York Times noted that Emling took a journalistic approach but too often speculated about events that might have happened. The reviewer noted that her ample footnotes put the subject's work "into the scientific and sociological context". [2]
Nature said that Emling's "diligent" work was "more thorough and complete" than Tracy Chevalier's novel about Anning's life, Remarkable Creatures (2009), published nearly at the same time. The reviewer noted, however, that the freedom of the fictional account was more engaging for a reader. [3]

John Edwards is a former United States Senator from North Carolina and a Democratic Party vice-presidential and presidential candidate. In August 2008, Edwards admitted to an extramarital affair, which was initially reported in December 2007 by the National Enquirer but was given little attention outside the tabloid press and political blogosphere. The Enquirer cited claims from an anonymous source that Edwards had engaged in an affair with Rielle Hunter, a filmmaker hired to work for his 2008 presidential campaign, and that Hunter had given birth to a child from the relationship. ABC News reported that Andrew Young, a member of Edwards' campaign team, stated that Edwards asked him to, "Get a doctor to fake the DNA results ... and to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this [was] indeed his child." The allegations were initially denied by both Edwards and Hunter. Young claimed paternity of Hunter's daughter, although no father is listed on the child's birth certificate, and Young has subsequently denied it.
