In today's culture of outrage, how can you stand your ground with grace? Join bestselling author and actress Candace Cameron Bure as she reveals the countercultural thought patterns and practices that have enabled her to stay centered in who she is while practicing radical graciousness toward others.

As a woman in today's world, you know what it's like to feel pressure on all sides from clashing cultural expectations. How can you stay true to who God has uniquely created you to be in the face of the script you've been given? What's more, how can you stand your ground with grace?

The classy confidence you know and love—whether it's on the set of Full House, Fuller House, Dancing with the Stars, The View, or your favorite Hallmark movies—is no act. But it hasn't come easily. Candace's secret? Kindness. It's timeless, unexpected, and even countercultural—and best of all, it never goes out of style.

Whether you're navigating major life choices, questions of calling and career, relationships, or personal goals, this book will show you how to:

  • Keep your cool under pressure
  • Respond to criticism with grace
  • Stay grounded but still go places in life
  • Stay true to who you are despite the expectations of others
  • Stay centered in what ultimately matters the most

Let this book help you say goodbye to society's "shoulds" and find a new way to shine.
