“Lucy has nine months to break an ancient curse in order to save both herself and her unborn daughter. 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.”(description from Goodreads.com)

This excellent novel, loosely based on the folk song "Scarborough Fair," is a dark fantasy that takes the reader on a suspenseful ride to a satisfying conclusion. Be aware, there is a rape scene that while disturbing is not graphic. The rape results in a teen pregnanacy.
