Award-winning Sydney author, Elizabeth Lancaster, returns with a new memoir — a story of enduring friendship, her own journey with multiple sclerosis, and of how one dog forces the door open to connection, community and renewal.  

A testament to friendship, illness and the love of a good dog —Astrid Edwards, Chair of Judges for 2025 Stella Prize

When Libby’s lifelong friend, Emma, persuades her to adopt a strong-willed rescue dog, the intention is simple: help restore Libby’s fitness which has declined due to MS.

But the unusual Bounty sets off a chain of events neither woman could have forseen. Bounty steers a reluctant Libby into a hidden dog-park community where she finds her assumptions about disability and belonging are challenged.

As Emma reveals her own devastating diagnosis, the equilbrium shifts and roles are reversed. Bounty is a story of enduring friendship and of one dog forcing the door open to connection, community and renewal.

The signing will be held from 10am-2pm at BOOK FACE Northbridge.
