Paul, can you give some more details about the book?
How many years ago did you read this?
Anything about the cover?
For children, teens or adults?

Feel free to post any info you remember, no matter how small.

Makes me think of Prophet by Mike Resnick Prophet

Probably a long shot, but there's something a bit similar in the first chunk of The Passage, the girl Amy is wanted by scientists, and the guy sent to fetch her, Brad, decides to try and protect her from them instead.

Painless by Derek Ciccone?

[Js700]

Wild-born?

[Kelly]

Probably too old, but since it has a similar premise--Mind-Find by Belden? (Also, there are two companion books, Mind-Hold and Mind-???something.)

[Kris]

Paul, are you still looking for this book? Is it any of the suggestions above?

[Andy Phillips]

I would be surprised if this is the book, but it has some similarities like the young girl with abilities (Candy), the apocalypse and the cover:
Emergence
