posted by Nell Minow

It was great to catch up with Candace Cameron Bure to hear about her new film, "Finding Normal," premiering this week on GMC-TV.  She plays a brilliant type-A surgeon who is completely focused on status and her career until she gets stuck in a small town and sees a different way of life. What i
