Alison Reads

Originally published in 1978, this is a Hugo and Nebula award-winning science fiction book that I never got around to reading until now. It’s about a strong self-confident young woman, Snake, who along with her three special snakes is a Healer in a post-nuclear world. When her rare alien dreamsnake is killed, she tries to find a way to get another. On her journey she rescues an abused child and finds true love. A bit dated in spots, but well worth reading. Recommended for high school students and adults.
