Edición en Inglés
Mercedes Sosa, one of the most influential artists of all time, was a woman who overcame differences and never stopped doing what she believed was right. Despite personal losses and constant persecution, her dedication to helping the poor and the working class was the driving force behind her music. Nicknamed, "The Voice of the Voiceless", Sosa used her voice to transmit the strength and fire needed for cultural and personal change and for decades, she was a dynamic force in shaping Latin America.
Through Anette Christensen's eyes, we see the incredible journey of Mercedes Sosa, and the impact this remarkable woman had on the world. We feel her pain, her joy, her triumphs, and her struggles, as if they were our own. And in the process, we discover the transformative power of art, music, and human connection.
Christensen's work is not just a tribute to Sosa's legacy; it is also a guide to healing and growth. By sharing her own personal journey, she shows us how we can use the lessons of Sosa's life to overcome our own challenges and find a path to inner peace.
The Voice of Hope is a testament to the power of compassion and empathy, and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that we all have the strength within us to make a difference in the world, no matter how small or large and it will leave you feeling empowered, uplifted, and ready to face whatever challenges come your way.

From the first page, I was moved and amazed by how Aunt Mercedes manages to travel through time and distance and generate admiration and commitment in Anette to tell the story of who Mercedes really was and make her visible to the reader. Anette's goal was to capture Mercedes' life as an artist and as a person and Anette's mission has been accomplished. She nailed it!

Editoral Review
Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope is a beautiful book, and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. Christensen writes in the present-tense, which gives it an immediacy that's not only powerful and gripping, but it helps to bring this remarkable woman to life. The writing itself is clear, unpretentious and often eloquent, much like Sosa's music. There are times when the author's voice and creativity blends with the material, which is often the case in good historical writing. It's impossible for a biographer to know for sure what a subject is thinking, for example, but in using good research together with a well-honed instinct and empathy, delivering those thoughts to the reader can be a transcendent as well as informative experience. Christensen manages this beautifully.
