false 3188580 9 Lucy has nine months to break an ancient curse in order to save both herself and her unborn daughter. Inspired by the ballad "Scarborough Fair", this riveting novel combines suspense, fantasy, and romance for an intensely page-turning and masterfully original tale. Lucy is seventeen when she discovers that the women of her family have been cursed through the generations, forced to attempt three seemingly impossible tasks or to fall into madness upon their child's birth. But Lucy is the first girl who won't be alone as she tackles the list. She has her fiercely protective foster parents and her childhood friend Zach beside her. Do they have love and strength enough to overcome an age-old evil? 3221515 book 18 9 1994 Impossible total:1955|5:483|4:788|3:461|2:174|1:49| 1955 7347 3716 672 3188580 0803730020 9780803730021 1809 617 3.76 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3188580.Impossible 1 20 true Mon Dec 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 16:07:52 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 25 02:33:26 -0800 2009 http://www.teenreads.com/authors/au-werl...
