Impossible by Nancy Werlin
Getting raped on prom night and finding out she's pregnant soon after should be enough stress for any teenage girl, but Lucy Scarborough also has to contend with the fact that she's the victim of a family curse. Of course Lucy is used to living with stress and disappointment because she's known all her life that her birth mother is crazy and worries constantly that her mother will appear and humiliate Lucy in front of her friends. Fortunately she's been raised by two loving foster parents, Leo and Soledad. Her next door neighbor, Zach, has also been a supportive, loving friend.
When Zach discovers her mother's teenage diary Lucy learns that her mother's madness is actually part of a curse that happens to the women in her family at age eighteen. They become pregnant and soon after go crazy. To break the curse of the Elfin Knight, who's punishing them for their ancestor Fenella's refusal to be the Elfin King's true love, she has to perform three difficult tasks set forth in the ballad Scarborough Fair before the baby is born or otherwise she'll go crazy herself. With Zach's assistance, which includes marrying her, and her foster parent's support Lucy may find a way to make the "impossible" possible and find true love.
