Nioka, Bride of Bigfoot (Girl of the Rainforest Book 1)

A young woman flees civilization to live alone in the rain forest. She escapes hunters, encounters Bigfoot, looks for Hoh River Blue, solves a mystery and comes face to face with the crocodile god of her own subconscious. People catch sight of her and a myth develops about the wild woman of the woods. Men form expeditions to find and capture her. But she retreats deeper into the forest, builds a tree house and, alone in the wilderness, discovers the secret of the silence.
