All Different Kinds of Free

[Shawna]

All Different Kinds of Free is a book by my personal friend, Jessica McCann.

Synopsis:

A free woman of color in the 1830s, Margaret Morgan lived a life full of promise. One frigid night in Pennsylvania, that changed forever. They tore her family apart. They put her in chains. They never expected her to fight back.

In 1837, Margaret Morgan was kidnapped from her home in Pennsylvania and sold into slavery. The state of Pennsylvania charged her kidnapper with the crime, but the conviction was later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. It was the first time a major branch of the federal government had made a pro-slavery stand, and the ruling in Prigg v. Pennsylvania sewed the bitter seeds of the states' rights battle that eventually would lead to the Civil War.

Yet, the heart of this story is not a historic Supreme Court ruling. It is the remarkable, unforgettable Margaret Morgan. Her life would never be the same. Her family had been torn apart. Uncaring forces abused her body and her heart. But she refused to give up, refused to stop fighting, refused to allow her soul to be enslaved.

Visit Jessica's Web site at JessicaMcCann.com. She's an incredible writer, and I can't wait to read the book. I've been waiting for months for this to come out, and I know it's going to be well worth the wait.

Edit: I know this isn't music, but humor me.

I think that the hardest word to truly become is

"Freedom"

Three things become freedom

1. Being independant

2. Firm adoration

3. Being able to do whatever.
