Cradle Me—A Tribute to Trees is a memoir. It is also a reverent reflection and an expression of gratitude for the protective and spiritual nature of trees. The author visits childhood and adult experiences, including death, divorce, and disease, exploring how life offers us opportunities to grow through those moments. Connected through her affinity with trees, Cattrell’s words will take you literally into the woods and back to your own remembrances of play, fear, insecurity, accomplishments, loss, and love.

Cradle Me invites you to deepen your own experiences of worship in nature and in community with other believers.
