When Carruthers ''Danni'' McAllister receives an antique pouch as a birthday gift from her grandfather, her first reaction is disappointment. ''Don't assume that something is empty just because there's nothing there,'' her grandfather warns. Danni learns that for nearly two hundred years, the mysterious pouch with its astonishing hidden secrets has been handed down from generation to generation, and each new owner has had to discover how to access the power it holds, or suffer the penalty of using the pouch unwisely.

Is destiny set or can it be changed? Kindergarten teacher, Liza Wilcox, her boyfriend, Chief of Police, Tom Owens, and wheelchair bound cyber-sleuth, Justin Weaver, struggle with this question as they rush to find the connection between a rodeo, a cancer cluster, ecology rallies, and a town torn apart by gangs and a big corporation's desire to level it for a new highway. If they don't, an entire family will be murdered.

"That's What I Thought" is a coming-of-age memoir that transports listeners to a simpler time. Back to childhood, where lifelong bonds were forged with family, friends, and neighbors and where a foundation of values was built that lasts a lifetime. Set in rural southeastern Kentucky in the 1960's, it captures the nostalgia and charm of small town living through the eyes of the narrator. Growing up in a rural area in the 1960's was a remarkable experience that will be lost if not put to paper.
