Customer Reviews

The greatest book!

When I read this book, I immediately felt like I was a part of the Dilley family. I sincerely wish that Keith and Becki would write another book about the sextuplets now.

A book for parents everywhere - even "down under" in NZ

I think I am a busy mother - trying to balance careers with young children - but I had no idea how busy it is possible for a parent to be! We have all read the magazine articles, seen the items on television and pondered what life might be like for families with triplets or more, but this enjoyable and easy to read book reveals angles on their experience that would never have occurred to me. I liked the way that both parents' points of view are included and the chatty style which makes this book read more like a conversation with a friend over coffee. I seldom get time to read, and yet I read this in two nights as I couldn't put it down! Parents everywhere would enjoy this book and will applaud the common sense way in which these two special parents have dealt with their almost unique situation. While understanding how much they will want to guard their privacy, I do hope there will be another book letting us in on the new and different challenges they will face at later stages in their children's lives.

nicely written and a great family story

I'd love to read more books like this one. A really lovely telling of how the family coped with a lot of little ones at once.

Wonderful Book !

I really enjoyed reading that book. The way the dilleys worked through there situation really amazed me! I think if you buy this book you will not be dissapoionted. I have triplets myself and I Know that sometimes it gets kind of troublesome sometimes. Believe me this book is for you!

I couldn't put it down!

I found this book very interesting to read as it chronicled Becki and Keith's struggle to have children, then their struggle to care for them. As a person who looks after triplets, I cannot imagine what a job it is to look after six! When reading this book it is obvious that Becki and Keith enjoy their roles tremendously, and by looking at the photos of their beautiful children, it's easy to understand why. I highly recommend this book as an inspiring read that will restore your faith in family.
