Traveled and Unraveled

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!
