Uncle Daniel Ponder moves to give away his fortune, while his niece, Edna Earle, tries to tighten the reins on Daniel’s generosity. After Daniel marries teenager Bonnie Dee Peacock, her death leads to Daniel’s trial for murder.
The Ponder Heart is the story of a man who has such a large heart he is willing to help anyone and give away anything he has without thought to what is in it for him. He is a rare man who only wants to make others happy. Daniel Ponder is viewed as being more of a child than an adult even at his advanced age.
The Ponder Heart is literally a set of directions on how to stage a textual heist, deflate male power, silence old southern myths, and shut down American white-supremacist hegemonic discourse. The African American characters, Narciss, and Big John, and the poor, white girl Bonnie Dee Peacock have made change and cut hair.
