I Set The Tree On Fire and Walked Away

By Rebecca Pettie

In I Set the Tree on Fire and Walked Away, Rebecca Pettie invites readers into a raw, poetic exploration of loss, healing, and rebirth. Through letters, reflections, and imagery rooted in gardens, fire, and renewal, she unearths the pain of what had to be burned away in order to grow again.

This deeply personal work unfolds in six parts: from the memories she left behind in the ashes, to the souls who stood with her in the fire, to tender letters written to family, to herself, and finally to you-the reader. Each page becomes both a mirror and a seed, offering space for reflection, grief, and hope.

With language both lyrical and unflinching, Pettie captures the cycles of destruction and growth that shape us all. I Set the Tree on Fire and Walked Away is not just a story-it's an invitation to confront what must be released, to honor what has endured, and to discover the flourishing life waiting on the other side of the fire.

Perfect for readers seeking catharsis, connection, and the courage to step into their own renewal, this book belongs in the hands of anyone who has ever walked away from the flames in search of new roots.
