Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre
In a post-apocalyptic world where technology has regressed and healing is often done through natural means, a healer embarks on a quest to replace her rare and valuable dreamsnake, a creature used in her healing practices that was tragically killed. Throughout her journey, she encounters various communities and individuals, each with their own customs and challenges, while confronting the prejudices and superstitions surrounding her profession. As she navigates this fragmented society, the healer must overcome personal and external obstacles to find a new dreamsnake and continue her vital work of healing and helping others.
