Take a beautiful high school girl, a crazy mother, add the boy next door, and a an Elfin Prince's curse and you have the makings of a great read! Impossible is based on the song, Scarborough Fair. I'm most familiar with the version sung by Simon and Garfunkel way back when. I'd always thought this was such a lovely song, but when you take a closer listen, it really challenges the the idea of unconditional love. Lucinda's mother had her when she was just 18 and went insane immediately after her birth. The only thing she left Lucinda was the song, Scarborough Fair, with lyrics unlike the ones traditionally sung. Prom night ends in disaster that leaves Lucinda with knowledge of the curse but no real direction on how to accomplish the impossible tasks to break the curse. Only the love of her adopted family will lead her to the solve the puzzle!
