Crazed and Confused
(2023)(The first book in the Delightfully Dysfunctional series)
A novel by Tiffany Ryan
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!
