I have no idea how she was raised since birth, but I can tell you what happened to me in a case like this.

I rescued one of my babies. He was 10 months old. He would not even come near us for over a month. He was a bigger dog, so he was in our yard. He hid behind the shrubbery all that month. We never saw him come out to use the bathroom. I would put his food and water next to the shrub. I guess in the middle of the night, is when he ate. I found out from the shelter that he was severely abused. It took several months for him to trust anyone. It was a slow process, but we never raised our voice, made any sudden moves, only petted him under the chin and never on top of the head. If you even raised you hand to pet him on the head, he was gone again. Anyway to make a long story short. He is the best, sweetest, most well behaved, smartest baby we have ever had. Give yours plenty of time and love. It sounds to me that she might have had an unpleasant experience with humans.
