  In 1989, the Little Rascals Day Care in Edenton, North Carolina, was suddenly thrust into the national spotlight. One day, the owner's husband disciplined a boy at naptime, and soon an angry mother suggested that it was more than just a slap. Rumors quickly morphed into charges of unimaginable crimes against dozens of little children. Panic consumed the town, as the police, therapists, and parents relentlessly pressured the children who attended the day care to name their teachers responsible for multiple allegations of abuse. The Edenton Seven were caught up in the accusations, including nineteen-year-old teacher Robin Boles Byrum. She spent nearly a year in jail under an enormous bond meant to pressure her to "tell the truth" while she had a new baby at home. Eerily reminiscent of the hysteria that gripped Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of the seventeenth century, the Little Rascals case ultimately became the longest and most expensive criminal trial in North Carolina history. 
  Three decades later, Betsy Hester met Robin Byrum Couto and together, they joined forces to tell the truth. In this book, Betsy shares insights from legal and medical experts and reveals the facts from twenty-one boxes and dozens of bound testimonies from the courtroom long since buried away. Intertwined with the case history is Robin's never-before-told story of her harrowing journey through the court system. Finally, this book serves as a modern-day warning about the danger of mass hysteria and the consequences of a judicial system that blindly refused to hear and seek the truth.

  Once you've been admitted to college, the next step is to develop a strategy of how to find your best life there. But for decades, Professor James T. Hamilton has seen students struggle with their college journey. Some avoid challenging experiences, follow a path of familiar expectations, and rely on shortcuts. Others aim for perfection, ignore their friends and health, labor over what subjects to study, and neglect spending time outside the classroom. The pressure to make college valuable and interesting can feel overwhelming. 
   
   
   
  If only students could learn how others have navigated these challenges. You could ask alums to look back on friendships and college-to-career paths and provide advice. Now, you don't have to wish because You Got In! Now What? tackles the burning questions you have. 
   
   
   
  Hamilton designs lessons to help you find purpose, manage time, maintain friendships and family relationships, stay physically and mentally healthy, and choose classes, majors, and careers. Each lesson is accompanied by an essay based on research and reflections from students, alums, and professors to provide observations for how you can embrace the best that college has to offer. With these insights, you'll explore new ideas, meet people, have adventures, and most importantly, beyond just earning a degree, get an education.
