Read Lorraine Cobcroft's full review at Reedsy Discovery:
“
Todd Frederick’s “A Good Name” is undoubtedly deeply researched, its setting is immersive and authentic and it beautifully captures the divided loyalties of the time. It will be a deeply rewarding read for readers who enjoy learning history through storytelling, those interested in California’s transition from Mexican territory to American statehood, those drawn to stories about identity and belonging, as well as those who enjoy character-driven stories.
