Meet the Jenkins! A delightfully dysfunctional family that puts the fun in dysfunction.

This uproariously hilarious and laugh out loud narrative is told through the eyes of Addie, the Jenkin’s sixteen-year-old daughter, who humorously chronicles the craziness and frivolity of her family through keen observation and affable insight. By shedding light on the eccentricities of her family, Addie takes us on a wild ride through the entertaining spectacle of geriatric community theater, homeschooling mishaps, karaoke nemeses, and a slew of other outlandish situations.

The story is weaved seamlessly in and around the life of Olivia Jenkins, a wine loving, sanity seeking, homeschooling mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown and her mother, Grandma Helen, the self-adoring elderly matriarch of the family whose vigor for life and wild antics tend to keep Olivia in a perpetual state of stupefaction. Toss in two strong-willed, sarcastic sons, a freewheeling sister from out of town, a father with Harley Davidson fantasies, and a mother-in-law who sells finished paint by numbers as art, and you can see why Olivia just may find herself riding the crazy train out of town.

Join Olivia and the rest of her family as she works to juggle everyone else’s crazy while trying to keep her own sanity intact. It’s sure to be one hell of a ride!

Merry Christmas from the Jenkins! A delightfully dysfunctional family that puts the fun in dysfunction.
Tis the season, and with the Christmas holiday fast approaching, and the school semester finally winding down, Olivia Jenkins is looking forward to a little rest and relaxation, her crazy and eccentric mother, Grandma Helen, however, not so much. So now, in addition to already having to deal with frenetic Christmas planning, holiday decorating, and the hassles of everyday life, Olivia is also finding herself having to contend with her mother’s fortuitous, if not slightly self-serving, foray into the adventitious enterprise of charitable giving. After begrudgingly agreeing to help coordinate the holiday charity drive for her local community theater troupe, Helen quickly comes to the realization that acts of benevolence and munificence may just be a wee bit outside her wheelhouse, and rather than suffer through it alone, she hastily enlists the help of her youngest daughter, and the one person willing to humor her many peculiarities and impositions.
Humorously chronicled through the eyes of Addie, the Jenkins sixteen-year-old daughter, Olivia is finding herself once again having to juggle the indulgences of her family, while at the same time, working hard to keep her own sanity intact. Whether having to suffer through a calamitous Walmart shopping excursion, riotous baking fiasco, or administering damage control over a drunken and disorderly Santa, you had better believe that the Jenkins family will have plenty of wine, laughs, and witty repartee to go along with it.
Join Olivia and the rest of her family as they serve up plenty of laughs, wit, charm, and of course, sarcasm, in this hilarious second installment of Tiffany Ryan’s Delightfully Dysfunctional series, where fun and dysfunction not only meet, but are seamlessly and happily intertwined!

Ciao e buona giornatta from the Jenkins! A delightfully dysfunctional family that puts the fun in dysfunction.

Summer is finally here, and with the school year slowly creeping to an end, Olivia Jenkins is looking forward to a restful and relaxing two-week vacation in Italy, unfortunately for her, however, her travel companions, i.e., her entire family, along with her extravagant and eccentric mother, Grandma Helen, may make that just a wee bit difficult. With an unexpectant Christmas surprise of tickets for a family inclusive, all-expenses-paid trip to Italy from Grandma Helen and Grandpa Anthony last year, the Jenkins are now eagerly ready to jet their way across the Atlantic on what is sure to be the vacation of a lifetime, even if that means having to spend days upon days of uninterrupted time together. Traversing the Italian countryside is a dream come true for Olivia, but doing it with family, well, that’s a completely different story. One thing’s for sure, though, anywhere the Jenkins go, plenty of wine, laughs, and witty repartee are sure to follow.

Humorously chronicled through the eyes of Addie, the Jenkins seventeen-year-old daughter, Olivia is once again finding herself having to juggle the frivolity and eccentricities of her family, while at the same time, working hard to keep her own sanity intact. Whether having to deal with Grandma Helen’s recent foray into the world of social media, Aunt Christine’s unwanted ex-husband weaseling his way back into her good graces, or having to handle a slew of other outlandish and ludicrous situations, Olivia is definitely finding her hands to be full, the only question is, will there be enough wine to sustain her as she arduously navigates the craziness of her family on international soil.

Join Olivia and the rest of her family as they serve up plenty of laughs, wit, charm, and of course, sarcasm, in this hilarious third installment of Tiffany Ryan’s Delightfully Dysfunctional series, where fun and dysfunction not only meet, but are seamlessly and happily intertwined!
