Harriet Thurston Buchheim Mather, one of fifteen Thurston children, describes CHILDREN OF ALISO as "the story of a single family of pioneers taken from among the many who formed an integral part of the romantic Southland in days that are forever gone-gone, not simply from the standpoint of the passing of time, but of the vanishing of an era."

CHILDREN OF ALISO is a memoir of the pioneering Thurston family who settled and homesteaded 152 acres of land in Laguna Beach's Aliso Canyon in 1871, transforming its barren wilderness into a sustainable farm. It narrates the family's personal stories, from initial isolation to early Laguna neighbors, through the 1880s real-estate boom and bust, and 1890s economic downturns. Detailed descriptions of the region's flora, fauna and beautiful landscapes provide a backdrop to accounts of their daily lives, relationships and hardships. It recounts their lives on the Aliso farm, and the early years of school and work opportunities in neighboring communities.
