Rudy’s one extra-large ear is the unfortunate legacy of her father, who, frustrated by her perceived inattention at the dining room table, constantly pulled it, convinced she wasn't listening. In truth, Rudy is quite deaf, a fact unbeknownst even to her, which explains her silent, intense observation through hooded eyes and her narrow lips that rarely speak. For pocket money she works at the Saginaw Public Library on Saturdays – a place where people don’t speak much either, though their staring eyes often speak louder than words.
