On the road of life, there are potholes and there are fender benders.

Welcome to the life of Nancy Pofahl - a 50 year-old's account of the trials and tribulations of a Wisconsin hippie. There's lots of laughter, plenty of tears, and even more booze to wash it all down. Whether she's cursing out a motorcycle gang or floundering through the medical system, Nancy irrepressibly faces the challenges of a seemingly luckless life. Find out "what happens between the laughing and the crying"; you may just see a bit of yourself in her experiences.
