"I loved this book. I loved the back story of how the author chose to write about one of the most influential musicians of all time. I loved that it took her 9 years to write it, only because of the depth and intimacy she shares within her relationship with Mercedes Sosa, even though she had passed by the time the author started writing. I loved the way she describes her healing process and how she transformed through her odd yet charming path to becoming whole. Highly recommend." P eggy Lee Sprague
" Well researched with a lot of history and background, most of it new to me. I liked the connection between the author and Mercedes and how her music touched her deeply. It was an intriguing journey and the book was an entertaining read."
