Summary:
"Maurice Benard has been blessed with family, fame, and a successful career. For twenty-five years, he has played one of the most well-known characters on daytime television:
General
Hospital
's Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, Jr. In his life outside the screen, he is a loving husband and the father of four. But his path has not been without hardship. When he was only twenty, Maurice was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In Nothing
General
About It, Maurice looks back to his youth in a small town and his tenuous relationship with his father. He describes
how
his bipolar disorder began to surface in childhood,
how
he struggled to understand the jolting mood swings he experienced, and
how
a doctor finally
saved
his life. For years Maurice was relentless in his goal to be a successful actor. But even after he "made it," he still grappled with terrifying lows, breakdowns, and setbacks, all while trying desperately to maintain his relationship with his wife, who endured his violent, unpredictable episodes. Maurice holds nothing back as he bravely talks about what it was like to be medicated and institutionalized, and of
how
he learned to manage his manic episodes while on the set of GH. Nothing
General
About It is also an incredible
love
story about an enduring marriage that demonstrates what those vows -- for better, for worse, in sickness and in health -- truly mean. Maurice also pays tribute to the community that has been there for him through thick and thin, and ruminates on the importance of both inherited and created family. A shocking, riveting, and utterly candid memoir of
love
, adversity, and ultimately hope, Nothing
General
About It offers insights and advice for everyone trying to cope with mental illness, and is a motivational story that offers lessons in perseverance -- of the importance of believing in and fighting for yourself through the darkest times." --publisher's website.
