This is an excellent book, a very quick read. The authors do an outstanding job of capturing the South Texas Catholic culture as well as the personalities of all of the main characters. This story would make for great non-fiction, but it's completely true, the characters all real. Anyone interested in cattle barons, oil bidness, a little Catholic church history, and the modern day "Old West" should read this compelling work.

People would not believe this story unless they knew it was true. Mr.Michaud and Mr. Anesworth did extensive research to give a astonishing true story of the last heir of the vast empire of Mifflin Kenedy. Sarita falls in love with a monk and as the title reads, "If You Love Me, You Will Do My Will" and the Catholic monk did. She left 1/2 of her empire to the "Kenedy Memorial Foundation" and the other 1/2 to the Catholic Diocease of Corpus Christi, Texas. The reader would need to know the whole background story to really be understand this truly very intereting book. If you are a history buff of South Texas, this is a must read to understand the whole picture on what when on in the early years and days of the New Texas in the 1800's.
