In 1982, Erika Schickel was expelled from her East Coast prep school for sleeping with a teacher. She was "that girl" — rebellious, precocious, and macking for love. Seduced, caught, and then whisked away in the night to avoid scandal, Schickel’s provocative, searing, and darkly funny memoir, "The Big Hurt," explores the question: How did that girl turn out?
