Canberra author Barbie Robinson and Yass-based artist Sara Phemister have come together to share the story of former Canberra resident and prominent human rights and disability advocate Annette Holden.

Addressing discrimination against blind and vision-impaired people, this is the story behind the making of Molly and Maple – The Guide Dogs who changed Nettie’s world.

This is a story of one woman’s courage in the face of challenging change – but it is a story for and, of everyone.

As a long-time friend of former Canberran Annette Holden, I was privy to her many stories of what had happened as a result of the loss of her sight in later life. We learn to be good people from the beginning – so I couldn’t help but think what better place to deliver the messages of this real story.
