To friends and strangers, he's also the most generous, having given away heirlooms, a watch, and so far, at least one family business. His niece, Edna Earle, has a solution to save the Ponder fortune from Daniel's mortifying philanthropy: As much as she loves Daniel, she's decided to have him institutionalized.\u003cbr\u003eFoolproof as the plan may seem, it comes with a kink -- one that sets in motion a runaway scheme of mistaken identity, a hapless local widow, a reckless wedding, a dim-witted teenage bride, and a twist of dumb luck that lands this once-respectable Southern family in court to brave an embarrassing trial for murder. It's become the talk of Clay County. And the loose-tongued Edna Earle will tell you all about it.\u003cbr\u003e\"The most revered figure in contemporary American letters,\" said The New York Times of Eudora Welty, which also hailed The Ponder Heart -- a winner of the William Dean Howells Medal which was adapted into both a Broadway play and a PBS Masterpiece series -- as \"Miss Welty at her comic, compassionate best.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harvest Books","offers":[{"title":"Ponder Heart | Eudora Welty | Paperback | 9780156729154 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1668033","offer_id":50789226021122,"sku":"1668033","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91dUJZMxWuL.jpg?v=1792296814","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/ponder-heart","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
