I only have the vaguest recollection of this book, but I woulds really
like to reread it.  It takes place in the future, I believe, after all
the cities have been blown up and are highly radioactive. It's about
this woman, an outcast, that has this peculiar property that entropy
seems to reverse around her.  For example, she is walking along a
highway in the desrt sun, and behind her, the rusted metal of the
guardrail turns gleaming.  She takes up (is born with?) this band of
people living in the woods.  Later she takes up with some guy that
seems to have come control over entropy.  In the climax, there is a
confrontation between them and some kind of authorities that lob an
entropy grenade toward the guy, who catches it, and somehow controls it
with his will.

Well, there ya go...any ideas?
