Sam and LT

In 1862 two young women from different backgrounds, were neighbors on adjoining farms in Arkansas. Letisha Thomas, born to negro parents Charles and Renae Thomas. Her parents were slain, following a raid on their farm by union soldiers in the midst of the Civil War. Letisha was eight years old at the time of her parents, demise and was the sole survivor, left behind to fend for herself. The Carruthers, Ben and Sarah on the other hand, were a white family living on an adjacent farm.
They subsequently, take Letisha in and raised her as their own, along with their own daughter Samantha, who was nine years old. The two girls only a year apart in ages, grew up to be close like real sisters. Now in their early twenties, the two young women decide it was time to leave their small town of Denton, Texas and move to the big city of Fort Worth, Texas to seek their fame and fortune.
