“Why do they keep locking me up?” Rusty’s Story is Carol Gino’s account of the extraordinary life of the woman she undertook to help – the woman who ended up teaching her an invaluable lesson about the will to live, the strength of hope… Rusty used to wonder if she would make it through the day, seeing danger in everyday living. Rusty has epilepsy. She was twenty when Carol Gino met her and learned of her past ordeals: the stigma of mental illness, the drugs that took away her self-control, the treatments that only worsened her symptoms. Carol and Rusty set out to prove that illness can be overcome, and that there is no substitute for love and care. From Library Journal While many advancements have been made in understanding and treating epilepsy, the disease is still surrounded by an aura of dread. Rusty was a teenager when she was stricken with epilepsy. Misdiagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, for years she suffered more from inappropriate medical treatment than from her condition. The reader is mesmerized as Gino passionately relates Rusty’s plight. Despite repeated incarcerations in a frightful state mental institution and the toxic effects of drugs, she never lost her sense of humanity or her strong desire to help others. Gino’s deep distrust of the medical establishment, her fervent attachment to nursing, and her conviction that the patient knows best are themes that are interwoven into the emotional story of Rusty’s fight for a normal life. – Carol R. Glatt, Helene Fuld Medical Center Lib., Trenton, N.J

Wait -- let's go back. I was falling asleep in class. I had to [blush] go to the bathroom all the time. I couldn't think straight. My living room walls were tipping sideways. Then I fainted.

There were so many reasons to believe Rusty was no ordinary cat. He hated cat toys. But he would play all day with trains that ran on a track and made sounds. He made vocal sounds more like human language than catcalls. And on April 3, 2014, he made a vocal cry so loud that he saved a life. His owner, his "MA-MMA" was about to leave him forever. And with God's hand, Rusty knew just what to do to save her. After that, Rusty's owner started to realize that he wasn't just a gift from God but was the most spectacular of gifts. She had always believed in angels""guardian angels to be more specific""and now realized hers was a little orange cat with the sweetest face ever. There was no other explanation for this cat's amazing perceptiveness. Others had made comments about Rusty and how astute he was, how he seemed to have a mind that didn't operate like he was "just a cat." Things started to fall into place to support the idea that he had a mission in this life, and most impressively, Rusty knew how to accomplish that mission. His start in life could not have been more unhappy or heartbreaking, yet he prevailed through life as if he was the luckiest little guy ever born! This is the story of how one cat brought God and faith back to a darkened soul, saved a life minutes from leaving this world, and even through his own health dilemmas, created friendships and stories to last a lifetime. "You've lost a therapy pet, a service cat, in my opinion. He helped you navigate MS and helped you through the illness and deaths of your parents...God sent him to you as a furry angel here on earth to support you." Dr. Carolyn Anderson
