About this audiobook
In Every Little Step, Brown will for the first time tell the full story of his life and set the record straight, particularly about his relationship with Whitney Houston.
Bobby Brown has been one of the most compelling American artists of the past thirty years, a magnetic and talented figure who successfully crossed over many musical genres, including R&B and hip hop, as well as the mainstream. In the late 1980s, the former front man of New Edition had a wildly successful solo career—especially with the launch of Don't Be Cruel—garnering multiple hits on the Billboard top ten list, as well as several Grammy, American Music, and Soul Train awards. But Brown put his career on hold to be with the woman he loved—American music royalty Whitney Houston. The marriage between Brown and Houston was perhaps the most closely watched and talked about marriage of the 1990s—a pairing that obsessed the public and the gossip industry. Now, for the first time, the world will be able to hear the truth from the mouth of America’s “bad boy” himself. Raw and powerful, Every Little Step is the story of a man who has been on the top of the mountain and in the depths of the valley and who is now finally ready to talk about his career and family life, from the passion and the excess to his creative inspirations and massive musical success.
On the process of writing this book, Bobby says, “Right after I signed on to write my story, I went through one of the most agonizing traumas I had ever experienced with the death of my daughter. But I was surprised by how therapeutic it was to work on this project, to look at the entire arc of my life and to realize that although there has been considerable pain, I have also been incredibly blessed. I hope my fans and other readers of this book will be entertained by this trip into the crazy, exciting, fascinating world of Bobby Brown. And I hope they will feel that I have been as honest and open with them in these pages as I have tried to be my entire life.”

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's clear Bobby Brown is not the best reader but that did not bother me as much as I thought it would. I enjoyed hearing his perspective on the many events we've seen play out in public. It seemed to be genuine and open.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Finally we hear Bobby's side of the story! If u were listening to the media and gossip, and had any negative views of Bobby before checking this out...you will def think twice about that once you're done with the book.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Learned a lot about late-80s musical entertainer and major star Bobby Brown, and enjoyed hearing "his side" of several of the events that we all read/heard about in the media. An audiobook's so much better when the author reads; however at times Brown's reading was too stilted. Nonetheless, I would recommend the book to people who remember first his domination of the music scene and later the entertainment news/gossip columns.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Resilience. The bavery of Bobby Brown. Not the best narration yet, I respect the effort. I cannot recall a person living through so much ridicule and judgment. Secrecy and lack of accountability from the Drinkard clan caused life-long destruction amongst Cissy's children. The drug use was over the top among the 3 children. With Bobbi Chris gone the estate passes to Whitney's mom Cissy, and two brothers.
Bobby starts his life from scratch. Bobby tells a story of 3 lifetimes. This man is resilient. I would like to hear his take on the Teresa Graves theory. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a genuine story, thank you Bobby for sharing it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Really? I mean, really, Bobby? I’m not sure how he is able to be reflective whilst in the throes of addiction, but everyone seems to have loved the book, save for little ole me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I felt like I was on a road trip with Bobby as he was talking. Like we were busting it. I laughed and cried. This book warmed my heart.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book! I appreciate Bobby’s honesty! It’s refreshing. There’s so much to his story that the media doesn’t tell. A great read.
