Why? Lucy Scarburough’s mother is insane, so she lives with her adopted parents who were her mother’s friends. Lucy discovers a family curse, a curse in which each Scarburough girl is impregnated as soon as she turns sixteen. After they give birth, they go mentally insane for the rest of their lives. Lucy is determined to break the curse before she gives birth, for her baby’s sake and her own. She is given three impossible tasks to perform in order to break the curse. Can she do it in time?
