Bruce Stockler captures the chaos, joy and challenges of becoming the father of triplets in this hilarious, fast-paced, and refreshingly honest memoir.

From the moment Stockler and his wife ,Roni, learn they have hit the fertility jackpot, their lives are turned upside down. The day the babies are born—in an operating room bustling with 30 doctors, nurses and technicians—is the first jolt in a physical and emotional roller-coaster ride. And every day following continues to reveal one unpredictable twist after another. Just going to the supermarket and keeping the kids—and the store—safe from disaster is like an episode from an adventure story. When the triplets start to walk, and explode in three directions at once, they quickly learn to exploit their newfound freedom at every possible turn.

Read an Excerpt

From I Sleep at Red Lights:

It is past 10 p.m. now and they show no sign of exhaustion, maniacally trampolining from bed to floor to furniture. I took chemistry in high school and cannot comprehend how their intake of calories supports 12 straight hours of mayhem. Is anyone at the oil companies studying children? The acrobatics are interrupted when Jared notices Hannah using one of his blankets as a parachute. A nasty, screaming, scratching fight breaks out. Each bed has a unique combination of linens.
