The AIDS Quilt will be on display in June 2021 for the 40th anniversary of the first cases, but it will be its last appearance as ordered by the heavy hand of the President of the United States. Nine nurses who worked with AIDS patients during the early years of the pandemic travel to Washington, D.C. to see the Quilt. While there, they are called upon by the National Health Center to care for patients with a new, unknown infectious disease and racist views, and they are asked to find the clues to its cause so that a VIP patient can be cured. But the nurses discover that even more challenging than this difficult assignment are the memories they begin to share from their painful AIDS nursing past. The Charon Club, a fictional chronicle of AIDS nurses’ memories and experiences, set in the midst of an emerging infectious disease in the eastern United States in 2021, was written by a nurse who worked on an AIDS unit in New York City during the darkest years of the pandemic. It is the first AIDS novel solely devoted to the work of nurses.

Gina M. Bright had no choice in writing her first novel, The Charon Club, or her first non-fiction book, Plague-Making and the AIDS Epidemic: A Story of Discrimination, years after working on an AIDS unit in New York City. The inhumane treatment of people living and dying with AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s must never be forgotten. Gina's short stories have appeared in Sundial Magazine, The Copperfield Review, and Zoomorphic and reflect her broader literary, historical, and ethical interests.

Bright holds a doctorate in medieval English literature and after 36 years continues to work as a registered nurse caring for oncology patients in Norfolk, Virginia while writing every day and again exploring the world with Mike, her husband of more than 20 years.
