This short book presents Granda's side of the story of his relationship with the Falwell family. I am unsure of its persuasive qualities, given that I was already inclined to believe him over the opposing parties, but I do take heart after reading of other Liberty University supporters who have subsequently denounced the Falwells. Granda's argument is that Michael Cohen presented to Falwell the offer to endorse his boss not as a stick (leaking their salacious stories about a threesome with Granda) but as a carrot (access to the highest power in the U.S. and further impunity).

As a naive sex positive person, initially I believed that being open about their kinks would have been the healthiest, happiest option for the Falwells. After reading this book, however, I understand that what is truly important to these individuals is their hypocrisy: they love a power differential and want to feel superior to others, including their college students whom they force to follow the "Liberty Way" honor code, because they know the rules do not apply to them. Recommended for all libraries.
