Growing up one of eight on a Mennonite farm in Pennsylvania, for Louise Buckwalter it wasn't easy being plain. For the Underdog is a true story of a young girl's self-discovery as she blossoms into a woman, navigating strained family relations and discovering a faith all her own. Told collaboratively through images, poetry & articles written by Louise as a young woman as well as a narrative edited from conversations with her, For the Underdog is a contemporary approach to the traditional memoir inspired by the tradition of oral history and documentary film.
