Book Description

In the sweltering heat of a Texas summer in 2025, a single social media post shattered one of America's most powerful conservative political dynasties. When Angela Paxton announced her divorce from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton "on biblical grounds," she did more than end a 38-year marriage-she exposed the fundamental crisis of authenticity that has come to define conservative politics in the post-Trump era.

Fractured Faith takes readers deep inside the most consequential political scandal in modern Texas history, revealing how personal moral failings intersected with public corruption to create a perfect storm that threatens to reshape American conservatism. Dr. Naim Tahir Baig meticulously chronicles the rise and fall of the Paxton political empire, from their early days as evangelical power brokers to the explosive divorce filing that sent shockwaves through Republican circles nationwide.

Drawing on exclusive access to sealed court documents, impeachment trial transcripts, and extensive interviews with key players, this book reveals the true story behind Ken Paxton's alleged affairs, his abuse of office to benefit political cronies, and his wife's remarkable transformation from dutiful political spouse to independent moral actor. More than a simple scandal narrative, Fractured Faith examines how the Paxton affair crystallizes larger questions about the role of character in political leadership, the intersection of faith and public service, and the price of unchecked political ambition.

From the backrooms of the Texas Legislature to the sealed chambers of divorce court, from evangelical church gatherings to high-stakes Senate campaigns, Baig masterfully weaves together personal drama and political analysis to create a compelling portrait of power, corruption, and the courage required to choose dignity over political loyalty. As the 2026 Senate race approaches and Donald Trump weighs his endorsement options, the Paxton scandal continues to reverberate through American politics, forcing a reckoning with fundamental questions about moral authority and conservative authenticity.

This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how personal scandals become political watersheds, and how the conservative movement's embrace of moral relativism may ultimately undermine the very values it claims to defend. Fractured Faith stands as both a gripping political thriller and a sobering examination of what happens when private virtue becomes public scandal in the unforgiving arena of American politics.
