Wasteland: The “Corpse” I Picked Up Calls Me Mom

Please Recommend Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland Scavenging Novels

I want a story with no golden finger, or one where the golden finger isn't too overpowered. The protagonist should work hard, help others and be helped in return, and eventually build a good life.

Apocalypse Novels! Short Ones, with Smart Protagonists. Please!!!

Looking for Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland Stories, Like a Girl Scavenging for Resources Every Day

I'm looking for books like "Explosive! Becoming a Lucky Star by Scavenging in the Wasteland". Please recommend wasteland stories, like ones where a girl scavenges every day and searches for all kinds of resources.
