Our world or the slaveholder s daughter explores the disturbing realities of Southern society under slavery. The narrative reveals the daily operations of a plantation, contrasting the serene beauty of the South with the grim oppression shaping the lives of the enslaved.

The story delves into the complexities of relationships within the plantation, showing both moments of human connection and the overarching injustice that defines them.
