Impossible

Impossible
by Nancy Werlin

Lucinda Scarborough is your average teen just trying to get ready for Prom. What she doesn't know is that she's also the victim of a curse that has haunted her family for generations. When one of her ancestors rejected the love of the Elvin King, he cursed her and her children. Now, when a Scarborough daughter turns 18, she becomes pregnant and goes insane upon the birth of her daughter. The only way to stop the curse it to perform three seemingly impossible tasks described in the song "Scarborough Fair".
.
But unlike her mother, her mother's mother, and all the other Scarborough girls before, Lucy isn't alone. She has her best friend, Zach, and her foster parents, all of whom believe her and will do anything to help her break the curse.
.
The story is new and original, but the characters are not well-developed. And though the book is good for a quick read, don't expect the characters to stay with you once you're done reading.
