THE PONDER HEART

The listener is Edna Earle Ponder's guest at the Beulah Hotel as she tells the tale of her Uncle Daniel's generosity and simple ways. Sally Darling becomes Edna Earle, her rich, honeyed tones always ready to break into a chuckle. Darling's unhurried pace welcomes the listener inside the Beulah on a hot summer day to set a spell. The time and place come alive with Darling's clear, consistent performance. Filled with regionalisms and unique characters, The Ponder Heart is an excellent choice for audio.
