"All Different Kinds of Free draws on an obscure 1842 Supreme Court decision for a gripping story of a free black woman abducted into the horrors of bondage. Jessica McCann adds flesh and blood to dry history to recreate the savagery and sometimes even the humanity of slavery. This book tears at your heart." ~Sandra Dallas, New York Times  best-selling author of Prayers for Sale and Whiter Than Snow 

 

 "A terrific, historical novel -- well executed, emotionally engaging, illuminating an important Supreme Court case and the heart of a heroic woman." ~Jewell Parker Rhodes, American Book Award winner and author of Douglass' Women

 

 "McCann re-imagines Margaret's plight in painful, realistic detail. I was drawn in by Margaret's strength ... anxious to learn her outcome. Kudos to the author for bringing Margaret's story to life." ~Editors' Choice, Historical Novels Review
