Woodswoman II / Anne LaBastille.
"Anne LaBastille wrote her best-selling book Woodswoman about the peace and solitude she found in the log cabin she built at Black Bear Lake. Eventually, however, the outside world intruded. Woodswoman II is the equally engrossing story of the author's decision to build a tiny cabin retreat fashioned after Thoreau's Walden, of her life with two German shepherds as companions, and of her renewed bond with nature"-- Amazon.com.

Summary
#2 Woodswoman Beyond Black Bear Lake : Beyond Black Bear
"If you're looking for a real declaration of independence, and a deeper social experiment, try a woman living alone in the Adirondacks for decades." --Megan Mayhew Bergman, Guardian Anne LaBastille found peace and solitude in the log cabin she built for herself at Black Bear Lake. But as the years passed, the outside world intruded in various ways: curious fans, after reading her best-selling book Woodswoman , tracked her down; land developers arrived; there was air and noise pollution and the damages of acid rain. Woodswoman II is the story of the author's decision to retreat farther, a half-mile behind her main cabin, and build a tiny cabin--fashioned after the one in Thoreau's Walden --in which she could write and contemplate. In this book (originally published under the title Beyond Black Bear Lake ) she writes movingly of her life with two German shepherds as companions, of a sustaining relationship with a man as independent as herself, and her renewed bond with nature.
