Description

Altar to an Erupting Sun: A Novel by Chuck Collins

Rae Kelliher is a veteran environmental activist and pioneer in the death-with-dignity movement.

Her husband Reggie calls her “party in a box” and “a weaver of people and movements.”

Facing a diagnosis of terminal illness, Rae engages in a shocking suicide-murder, taking the life of an oil company CEO for his complicity in delaying responses to climate catastrophe.

Seven years later, Rae’s friends and family gather at her Vermont farm to try to understand her violent exit and the rapid social transformations triggered by her desperate act.
