Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, with my sister and grandparents. I attended BYU and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communications. While at BYU, I met and married my sweetheart, Del.

Del and I are the parents of 10 wildly-creative, multi-talented children. We live in Houston, TX.

When I'm not writing, I like to date my husband, play with my kids, swim in the ocean, make jewelry, eat too much Dove dark chocolate, and dance to disco music while I clean the house.

I am the author of a children's picture book, "Grasshopper Pie" (WindRiver 2003), a children's chapter book "Gabby's Secret" (DuBon Publishing 2011), one novella, "Best Kind of Love" (DuBon Publishing 2014), and five novels, "Heaven Scent" (CFI 2008), "Altared Plans" (CFI 2009), and "The Upside of Down" (CFI 2011), "Aura" (DuBon Publishing 2012), "Imperfect Love" (DuBon Publishing 2014). I've also authored numerous children's magazine stories and articles.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was certainly a test of faith for this family. I found it uplifting to see what they faced and how they faced it.

I couldn't put this book down. It was a great read. Natalie becomes Relief Society President and feels overwhelmed with that and raising 6 kids. Then, she finds out she's pregnant with her 7th. Natalie continues to face challenges as the book goes on. I don't want to give spoilers...

This book was very well written. I really enjoyed it.

I know that she writes from experience for this. Personal and moving, this book tells of the blessings and pitfalls of special children. The blessings of their innocence and the pitfalls of their health. The trials that she and her family go through for the love of their youngest son, brother...I really loved this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not badly written, but...
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2011
First of all, this review is nothing against the writer. The book is well written, touching story, but I was a little put-off my the Mormon references. Not that I was offended; it just made the book a little more difficult for me to "get". Kind of the same way I felt after watching "A Serious Man" and realizing I wasn't Jewish enough to really "get it." This kind of book is also not really my thing, but I gave it a shot. Still not my kind of book. Again, nothing against the writer. Just not my cup of tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and uplifting
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2011
Rebecca Talley has a large family of her own and writes books. As a mother of a large family myself and a writer of books, I can really relate to this new and up coming novel published by Bonneville Books-a subsidiary of Cedar Fort Books.
Think With Six You Get Egg Rolls or Cheaper by the Dozen only with a twist. The last baby she has is born with Down's Syndrome and you learn what it is like to raise a child with this challenge. A very interesting story which is heart warming and inspiring.
