Publisher Description
From superstar Shania Twain, a poignant, heartfelt, and beautifully told account of her hard-scrabble childhood, rise to worldwide fame, and personal tragedies.
THE INSPIRING, HEARTSTIRRING MEMOIR FROM THE MUSIC ICON—NOW WITH A NEW FOREWORD
The world may know Shania Twain as many things: a music legend, a mother, and recently, a fixture in the news for her painful, public divorce and subsequent marriage to a cherished friend. But in this extraordinary autobiography, Shania reveals that she is so much more. She is Eilleen Twain, one of five children born into poverty in rural Canada, where her family often didn’t have enough food to send her to school with lunch. She’s the teenage girl who helped her mother and young siblings escape to a battered woman’s shelter to put an end to the domestic violence in her family home. And she’s the courageous twenty-two-year-old who sacrificed to keep her younger siblings together after her parents were tragically killed in a car accident.
Shania Twain’s life has evolved from a series of pivotal moments, and in unflinching, heartbreaking prose, Shania spares no details as she takes us through the events that have made her who she is. She recounts her difficult childhood, her parents’ sudden death and its painful aftermath, her dramatic rise to stardom, her devastating betrayal by a trusted friend, and her joyful marriage to the love of her life. From these moments, she offers profound, moving insights into families, personal tragedies, making sense of one’s life, and the process of healing. Shania Twain is a singular, remarkable woman who has faced enormous odds and downfalls, and her extraordinary story will provide wisdom, inspiration, and hope for almost anyone.
Customer Reviews
Interesting & Entertaining
Great book, never lost interest for a moment. It was disappointing, however, to see that Shania put the blame for her marriage breakup on the other woman-instead if her cheating husband. Woman need to stop blaming each other for men's bad behaviour. But overall great book.
Falls flat at the end
The first part of this book, the story of Eileen growing up in northern ontario was VERY interesting. Even the middle part of the book, the life of the famous Shania Twain was sort of interesting...but the end detailing the affair, booooring. I actually found the last few chapters painful to read. I found myself skipping paragraphs that just went on and on and on about, nothing. And I don't know who the editor was, but good god...
From this moment on
Deep, real and focused but feel like there is more!..more to be said!..great book all my best to your future!
