Publications
Goodwin's books were commercially successful, and generally well-reviewed by critics. The Literary World found The Colonial Cavalier "very gay and charming," and Dolly Madison a "delightfully written, carefully gleaned biography". Public Opinion found White Aprons to be "animated with fresh and absorbing interest." "There is nothing specially startling in her plot of her situations," noted The Richmond Times-Dispatch about Richmond's novel, Four Roads to Paradise. "But she has endowed her characters with life and the ability to enjoy it; she has infused a strong dramatic element into her scenes; she has described her surroundings well, and she has given zest and animation to her conversations and dialogues."
