Note from Laura Jay:
I actually listened to the Audible audio version of: Nothing General About It How Love (And Lithium) Saved Me On And Off General Hospital). I know that many of Maurice Benard’s fans will understandably covet the hardcover book.
I suggest you may also want to consider the audio version as well.Listening to Maurice tell his story in his own relaxed voice is amazing! You will feel as though he is speaking to the listener as a friend. All of his emotions are there.

And he even shares a few stories about his portrayal of Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital. As you listen, you will hear the tone of his emotional and heart-felt feelings.
