The 2024 allegations about Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron, and the long defamation suit that has followed them, are set down here as record rather than closed off as verdict. Theodore Pemberton is after the sequence of decisions, and where the sequence runs out, the book stops. The sequence is an odd one. Candace Amber Owens, born on April 29, 1989, was raised in Stamford, Connecticut, the third of four children of a Black father and a Black mother, largely by her grandfather Robert Owens, a former sharecropper who told her stories of the Jim Crow South. She attended the University of Rhode Island, dropped out, and went into publishing in New York. In 2015 she started a Twitter campaign against trolls who had targeted her. In 2017 she pivoted to right-wing political commentary with a YouTube video titled "Mom, Dad — I'm a Conservative." She took the Communications Director post at Turning Point USA and left it in May 2019; by 2020 her PragerU show was drawing thirty million views a month. She signed with The Daily Wire in May 2021 and was fired in March 2024, after months of friction with founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Gaza war. Pemberton works through all of it: the high-school bullying-and-noose incident that produced a 2007 federal investigation and a $37,500 settlement, the Rhode Island years and the move to New York, the SocialAutopsy.com Kickstarter campaign that Zoë Quinn and her allies broke, the Turning Point years and the Blexit clothing-and-policy line, the Candace podcast and the long Daily Wire years, the 2019 marriage to George Farmer and the four children, the firing and the relaunched Candace Owens Podcast, and the December 2025 introduction to Erika Kirk that produced the Bride of Charlie series. Her 2017 pivot made her one of the most divisive figures in American media, and the industry is still working out how to read her. ## Contents 1. Stamford 2. The Grandparents 3.

The title never carries the subject's name: it names one concrete thing out of the life — in this case Blexit — and the name goes on the line underneath. **Is this an authorised biography?** No. No subject, estate, label or foundation had approval over the text, and none paid for a word of it. The cost of that independence is that no new interviews were conducted for the book; it is built from the public record, and it says on the page where a scene is reconstructed rather than documented. **Can I read some of it before buying?** Yes — the whole opening chapter and the writer's foreword, free and in full, with no email address and no account. That is 3,933 words of the book. **How long is it?** About 60,500 words, 20 chapters, 198 pages in the paperback. ## The writer Theodore Pemberton is a Boston-based biographer whose books on American presidents and political operatives have been shortlisted three times for the Lukas Prize. He writes biography that takes campaign finance and procedural history seriously, focusing on the mechanics of political power. His early publications, including The Playbook and The Chief, established his reputation for meticulous archival research. His subsequent works, such as The Founder, Blexit, and The Bunker Hours, continued to examine the inner workings of political machines. With The 1972 Florida Primary, The Bletchley Park Hut, and The Mar-a-Lago Storeroom, he turned his attention to specific, high-stakes environments that shaped national policy and intelligence operations. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he spends his time teaching writing workshops and rowing on the Charles River.
