from the late 70's?
The premise: A story about how radiation kills a community and there is a one person left, she lives in this town pilfering what is left and one day finds that someone in a hazmat suit has detected her.
It's a far fetch, but does anyone remember know this book/story?

I read the book for a young adult literature class in library school. I'll definitely have to spend some time watching this one.

9. I had never heard of it, to be honest, until i read this thread |
|
and googled the title and found the youtube link.
I hope you are well, I haven't seen you post in awhile. I still remember meeting you in D.C at an anti-war event long ago, I am not sure if you remember. :hi:
