Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
