Review
"I was born and raised in Missouri. My career as a race car driver has taken me all over the United States. Although I have great memories from many places, some of my favorite spots are in the Show Me State! Racing at dirt tracks in small towns across the state, spending time with life long friends, taking in a Cardinals game, family float trips on the river, and eating at local restaurants that serve regional specialties always remind me of how proud I am of my home state."―Ken Schrader, race car driver
"McCandless's unabashed love for small-townAmerica is evident in this guide to Missouri's less-populated cities and towns."―Missouri Historical Review

-- Ken SchraderAbout the Author
Jake McCandless is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and minister who loves small towns and adventures. Being a life-long resident of small towns and having spent much of his time in places off the beaten path, he decided to share his family's finds from the Show-Me State with the rest of the world, first through his website www.smalltownmo.com and now through Show Me Small-Town Missouri. His love for making moments special was ingrained by his mom and his sense of adventure comes from his dad. Those special moments and adventures have continued with his wife and partner in crime, educator Amanda McCandless, who makes sure to turn each stop into an elementary science lesson, and their daughters, Andrea and Addie, who prefer candy stores and stops with water activities. Their beagle, Charlie, would join them more if he wasn't prone to getting car sick. He is based in Pea Ridge, Arkansas.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022We love just going for a drive to explore different towns and areas. This book gave us information about towns we had been to, but missed out on some of the restaurants or shops that are good, but not always noticed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020I have become a firm believer that you have to get off the interstate if you want to see America. My wife and I have begun to build diversions into our road trips so that we can enjoy the country roads and small towns. We have already visited several of the small towns in this book and now we are excited to use this as a guide to many more. Well written and organized, and beautifully illustrated.
