SynopsisGiancarlo Granda was working as a pool attendant when a charming middle-aged woman propositioned him. There was one catch. Her husband wanted to watch. Giancarlo, twenty years old, agreed to the rendezvous. He did not know that the woman was Becki Falwell, and her husband was the president and chancellor of Liberty University in Virginia, the world's largest religious university. Giancarlo also did not know that the lapse in judgement would plunge him into a decade-long struggle fraught with institutional religion and take-no-prisoners politics, illicit sex photos, and crony capitalism. Moreover, it lit a fuse that has now seen Falwell forced to resign as president of Liberty, call for a congressional inquiry, and a wave of female Liberty students and alleged victims of sexual assault who claim that the university both facilitated the violence and discouraged them from seeking justice. Off the Deep End is Giancarlo's story, a morality tale of finding strength and resilience in the face of profound hypocrisy. Book jacket., Giancarlo Granda finally reveals the truth about his relationship with Becki Falwell and her husband Jerry Falwell Jr., and the hidden world of political influence, high finance, and criminal intrigue. Jerry Falwell Jr. is a prominent figure in the evangelical world whose support for presidential candidate Donald J. Trump helped secure Trump's Republican nomination in 2016. He captured headlines when it was revealed that he and his wife Becki had participated in a years-long bizarre sexual relationship with a pool attendant they met at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. As Falwell Jr. began to deny this relationship, even more damaging news came out, ultimately forcing him to resign as president of Liberty University, which many consider to be the largest evangelical Christian university in the world. Giancarlo Granda is now ready to share the story of his years on an "only in America" rollercoaster ride through the monied corridors of power and profound hypocrisy.
