Filled with rare black and white and color photographs "Guiding Light: The Complete Family Album" documents the first five decades the show that aired on CBS. Storyline synopsis, actor interviews and behind the scenes personnel give wonderful insight into what made "The Guiding Light" one of the most popular and enduring soap operas of all-time.There is also renewed interest in the show as Soap Classics, a company aimed at restoring old soap episodes to DVD, has put out multiple box sets on this amazing daytime televison legacy.
