About the Book

If you're hungry for gracious, small town living where a handsome suitor comes to the aid of the heroine... and a lot of yummy recipes.... then this cozy-mystery, cook book novel might just be your cup of tea! In "The Secret of the Antique China" author Karla Jones Seidita introduces you to Jessica Campbell, the last of the Campbell clan and the new owner of Maryfield - the Campbell family home of many, many generations. Located in the bucolic wine and horse country of Joyful, Virginia, Maryfield has seen better days. No longer the pampered princess of style and grace she once was, Maryfield looked tired and worn when Jessica inherited the estate. Many large properties near Maryfield have already been gobbled up by developers but Jessica refuses to let that happen to her home. Despite the staggering costs of maintaining such a large property, she is determined to preserve her heritage and not sell away her birth right. All she needs to keep Maryfield going is a good, money making idea and a miracle. Fortunately for Jessica, with hard work, a little luck, and lots of prayer, miracles do happen.Join Jessica as she transforms the run down Maryfield Manor House into a charming, income producing bed and breakfast that saves Maryfield from developers. Discover what it takes to open a bed and breakfast on a tight budget while embracing the style and grace of the old south. Learn how Jessica uses theme weekends to pack her B&B with reservations and create adventures her guests will never forget. Meet the guests who sign on for the first "Searching for Antiques" themed weekend including the gorgeous Bill Madison, an internationally acclaimed and highly respected antique curator, who discovers the secret of Jessica's antique china. As a prelude to uncovering the deep, dark secret shrouding Jessica's antique china, you'll step back in time for a peek at Thomas Jefferson's elegant New Year's Eve Gala then marvel at Dolley Madison's bravery as she orchestrates the evacuation of The White House just prior to its burning by the invading British army. In this first volume of The Bed and Breakfast Mystery Series you'll meet "Rudee", Jessica's feisty feline companion who generously dishes out advice and adores homemade Snickerdoodles. You'll tour The Washington House with Chrissy Washington, Jessica's best friend forever who grew up in a house where runaway slaves once hid behind sliding walls and secret passages as they fled north to freedom. Waltz through the charming, modern day village of Joyful where you'll dance to the tune of its dusty antique shops, eclectic restaurants and the drop-dead gorgeous medicinal garden that brides covet for their wedding receptions. This cozy-mystery is loaded with dozens of yummy recipes that spice each chapter with flavor and good taste like Pecan Tassies as made by the Refreshment Ladies of the Joyful Presbyterian Church, Berry Baked Oatmeal from the Campbell Family Heritage Cookbook, and Virginia Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie courtesy of Grandma's Country Cupboard, a popular Joyful lunch spot. But there's so much more! Imagine being able to whip up Mushrooms Bourguignon and Black Eyed Salsa like the Campbell Family. Or Chrissy Washington's Virginia Peanut Butter Hummus she shares in The Washington House Historical Society Cook Book. Each and every chapter will make you hungry for another bite and these recipes are only a soupcon of what you can expect. There's menus, too, plus cooking and serving hints galore. You'll be able whip up your own tasty trip to Joyful while you discover the secret of Jessica's antique china!
