Roberta Kreider is a living testament to God's power to work in mysterious ways.  She grew up under the doctrine that homosexuality, while rarely discussed at all, was considered to be an awful and exceedingly terrible sin.  The idea that homosexuals could be active caring Christians that walked in God's love was never an issue for her until tragically her dear brother contracted AIDS, and came out to Roberta shortly before his death.

With this confrontation came a mighty journey for Roberta.  In her attempt to understand her brother and his life, she searched, questioned, and eventually, after her own personal relationship with God found the voices of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered believers ready to be heard.  From her "Fifteen Reason Why I Changed My Mind" , and her willingness to hear EVERYONE's story, came the book From Wounded Hearts.
