I completely loved the story. I love all of Dana's Noble Blood episodes but this one for some reason really resonated with me. I have only admiration for the Texas princes and will be definitely find out more about her life. Thanks for this amazing episode and for all the others. I enjoyed them very much!

Such an amazing story!
