Forget This Ever HappenedBy: Cassandra Rose Clarke Sometimes there's a town called Indianola. And sometimes there isn't. A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year June, 1993. Claire has been dumped in rural Indianola, Texas, to spend her whole vacation taking care of mean, sickly Grammy. There's nothing too remarkable about Indianola: it's run down, shabby, and sweltering, a pin dot on the Gulf Coast. Except there is something remarkable. Memories shimmer and change.
