About the book:
Whether you’re a native, a recent resident, or just passing through, these stories of the weird, wild, and wonderful people and places of the great state of Iowa are waiting for you. Take a peek inside and you’ll find people you’ve heard about in the news . . . as well as those you should have heard about.
Learn about mobsters and artists (and why they loved to hide out here), musicians and authors (and why they seemed to flourish here), astronauts and inventors (and how they dreamed big), and athletes and coaches (and how they put Iowa in the spotlight).
Of course, you’ll discover the only remaining Frank Lloyd Wright–designed hotel in the world, Iowa’s Hollywood and Broadway connections, and tantalizing foods that will make your mouth water. If that’s not enough, check out the world record holder for hiccups; the woman whose daughter never had a Rice Krispie Treat, although her mom invented them; or some of the most haunted buildings and bridges in America, all found in this amazing state!
Let Michelle Sprout Murray be your tour guide of her home state and prepare to be amazed!

About Michelle:
Michelle Sprout Murray loves to tell stories, travel, and take way too many pictures. Her favorite place to be is on stage, and that’s where she met her husband. Adventurers at heart, they enjoy gallivanting around the country and running an ice cream store. They’re huge fans of being with their two grown sons and daughter-in-law, who are also avid travelers and foodies. Michelle’s life motto is, “Always leave them wanting more,” and odds are good that she’s already working on her next book. Read about her latest escapades at michellesproutmurray.substack.com.
