Finding Your Way... A Journey of Discovery
Paul Michael Glaser faced every husband and father's worst nightmare when his wife, Elizabeth, contracted HIV during an emergency blood transfusion after the birth of their first child, Ariel. Elizabeth unknowingly passed the virus onto Ariel while breastfeeding and then to their unborn son, Jake, three years later.
Ariel developed AIDS and passed away in 1988 at the age of 7. Elizabeth died a few years later in 1994. Jake, now 30, continues to live with HIV.
Paul spent the ensuing years battling the various stages of grief, rage and fear. He had to find a way to continue with his life, while supporting his son through his own sense of loss and anger. In his book, "Chrystallia," Paul explores the depths of helplessness and powerlessness that come with dealing with the imminent loss of a loved one through a magical story of light and love.
And now he's inviting you to join him in a dialogue of hope, empowerment and healing. He's taken what he's learned in his own life and created a powerful message in "Finding Your Way - A Journey of Discovery." Please join us for this very special evening with Paul Michael Glaser.
Paul Michael Glaser is an actor, director and author, and is best known for his role as "Starsky" in the hit TV series "Starsky & Hutch."

His directing credits include, "The Cutting Edge," and "The Running Man," as well as television series such as "Criminal Minds" and "Las Vegas."
