Oscar has even made a counter - business in order to smuggle the rich kids out of Candor, and get them back to regular society. Oscar knows the big secret of Candor - that his father, the head of the town, is brainwashing everyone with subliminal messages in order to keep them perfectly orderly and rule-abiding. He is perfect in every way - he gets perfect grades, is the perfect boyfriend, and is the epitome of what every child in Candor should be. 'Candor' is about Oscar Banks, the model son who lives in the model town of Candor, Florida.

Or maybe that's just what she's supposed to say. Reluctantly.Īs far as she knows, Pam has never been brainwashed. When she's not writing, working or parenting, Pam likes to read books not aimed at her age group, go to museums and theater performances, and watch far too much television. Pam, who lived in Florida when she wrote CANDOR, currently lives just outside Washington, DC with her husband and their son. Her mother is not happy that Pam's degrees are stored under her bed. Pam attended college in Boston and finally decided she was finished after earning four degrees: a BS in Journalism, a BA in Environmental Science, a Masters in Library Science and an MBA. With a little persuasion she will belt out tunes from 'The Music Man' and 'The Fantasticks', but she knows better than to play cello in public anymore. Pam Bachorz grew up in a small town in the Adirondack foothills, where she participated in every possible performance group and assiduously avoided any threat of athletic activity, unless it involved wearing sequined headpieces and treading water.
