From the sting of my curse she can never be free
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...
Lucy Scarborough thinks of the words to Scarborough Fair as both a gift and a curse- the old folk lyrics are one of the few things she has left of her mother, Miranda, who suddenly and inexplicably went insane at age 18, right after giving birth to Lucy. Until the night of her senior prom, though, Lucy doesn't realize just how right she is to think of the lyrics that way.
After the terrible events of her prom night leave Lucy pregnant (and you'll just have to read the book to find out what those events are!), she re-discovers a letter and a few pages from her mother's diary, written just before Lucy was born and Miranda went mad. The pages tell a terrible tale that Lucy doesn't know if she should believe- a tale of a terrible curse unleashed on all the Sacrborough women, a curse that leaves them all pregnant at 18, doomed to go insane upon the birth of their daughters... unless they complete 3 impossible tasks.
Lucy, though, has something Miranda and all the other Scarborough women did not have- she has her foster parents, and she has Zach, the boy next door who just might be the love of Lucy's life... if she can reclaim it from the curse.
I absolutely loved this one! To find out what happens to strong, spunky Lucy, what her 3 impossible tasks are, and if the power of love can save her from madness, check out Impossible @ the library!
