Snake travels the land with her serpents, the rattlesnake Sand, the cobra Mist and the rare alien dreamsnake called Grass, whose bite can ease the fear and pain of death. But the blasted landscape of a far-future post-holocaust Earth is a dangerous place, even for such a highly regarded elite healer . . . especially when an unexpected death sends her on a desperate quest to reclaim her healing powers. A haunting story of an extraordinary woman on a dangerous quest in a far-future post-apocalyptic world.

One of those surprisingly good 70s SF gems. I love its gentleness and emotional depth, its progressive attitudes toward relationships, and the quiet strength of the protagonist. It's a world and a story that seems real somehow, very grounded.
