Slave Narratives

I read about a girl that was born into slavery. She recalls the memories of her childhood and how that evolved into realizing she was a slave. While the act of slavery is undoubtedly immoral, not all slave owners treated their slaves in horrible ways. The slave by the name Linda was born into a household with her mother, grandmother, and brother. She describes her childhood as not being that bad because her mistress was nice to her. However, when the mistress passed away and Linda was transferred to another owner, she then realized that her happy times as a child were over. 

Are slaves more likely to stay in the owners family after the owner dies?

How old do slaves have to be to start working, and how are they taken care of when they are babies?
