Impossible by Nancy Werlin
5.0
Lucy is 17 and pregnant. She has just discovered that the women in her family are doomed to deliver a daughter at age 18, and then go mad. Lucy has nine months to break the curse.
Her only guide is the ballad "Scarborough Fair," which describes three impossible tasks she must accomplish: she must make a shirt without needles or seams; find an acre of land between the ocean and the shore; and plow that land with a goat's horn, sowing it all with one grain of corn.
No one has ever beaten the curse. But then again, no one else had the support of Lucy's foster parents or her neighbor, Zach. Can they solve the riddles in time to save Lucy?
This is a story about love and hope, and it's exceptional. The cover is also gorgeous. Highly recommended!!
