The Memory Keeper is the story of Tomas Romero, a native of the
Acjachemen band, whom the Spanish renamed Juaneno. Born in 1820 in
San Juan Capistrano, Tomas attends the mission school where, in
addition to the catechism, he learns to read, write, and
cipher-uncommon for the Indians in San Juan at the time. Because
Tomas assists the padres, he becomes aware of the world outside the
small religious community. During his lifetime, he experiences the
rule of Spain, Mexico, and finally, the United States. He survives
drought, floods, plagues, the secularization of the mission
property, and its return to the church. He also marries, raises two
children, makes many friends, and provides assistance to the
priests. He becomes co-owner of a mercantile. Although his story is
rich with local history, it is, in the end, an engaging family saga
with characters who come alive on the pages."
