True Story, from the back cover:
Blond and fragile-looking Rusty was nineteen when Carl Gino first met her in the nursing home where they both worked. Only after they became close friends did Rusty reveal the terrible story of her teenage years.
Carol listened to Rusty's story with mounting horror and outrage: The epilepsy that was misdiagnosed as mental illness. The shame and confusion Rusty suffered as she was committed time and again to a state psychiatric hospital. The unspeakable things that happened to her there...
Deeply moved, Carol reassured her friend that such a thing could never happen again. But Carol was wrong. This time, however, Rusty had a compassionate and courageous ally. For Carol challenged the entire medical establishment to fulfill her promise to Rusty - the promise of a normal life.
