A Highly Placed Source: a Novel
"A Highly Placed Source is a subtly spiritual novel about.. a seemingly typical suburban kid who unabashedly begins relaying messages from God. This satirically charged account unfolds through an endearing cast of characters...With concise yet poignant prose, Dally reminds her readers that in a world of sensationalized media, it's the most fleeting moments that offer illumination." - Brian Melton, 5280 Magazine
"A Highly Placed Source was a fantastic read. John Irving-esque in style, it handles some pretty sensitive subject matter and pulls it off brilliantly."

It’s a normal day at Rory Middle School until twelve-year-old Peter Banks finds himself caught between his raging hormones, a voyeuristic bully, and God. This smart and always-funny novel explores what happens when a young boy’s earnest prayer turns a nation upside down. When Peter relays God’s message that in just seven days miracles will occur to prove His existence, not one institution can resist jumping on the bandwagon. The orbiting worlds of media, religion, and politics collide, leaving everyone to question what faith really means. Biting social satire and characters to love and hate are just part of Dally’s whirlwind adventure.
