2This book chronicles a young girl looking for love in all then wrong places and then finding God when everything else has failed her. Brittney finds herself struggling with low self-esteem, self-hate, and rejection throughout her teens and young adult life, even though she was brought up in the church. She runs out of worldly options for temporary satisfaction when God steps in and begins the transformation of her life. Brittney begins to learn the value of transparency and courage in the process of recovery. Brittney Owens is a licensed doctor of pharmacy, a life long resident of Akron, OH and the first time author of Every Step Is Necessary. Writing was an undiscovered and under nurtured skill for her. Being the youngest child and a self proclaimed loner, the empty pages of journals were the only company she had to escape the pressures of life. She began writing at a young age, first with poems, then short stories on online fan forums and now her first published book. Brittney is not only author but she is an amateur painter, event decorator, and mentor.
