With a difficult home life marked by abuse and financial hardship, she turned to music as an escape, singing in bars by age 8 to help support her family. Despite the challenges, her mother\u2019s support kept her focused on her dream.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"428\" data-end=\"750\">Tragedy struck at age 22 when Shania\u2019s parents died in a car accident, leaving her to care for her younger siblings. She took a steady singing job at Deerhurst Resort to provide for them, putting her ambitions on hold. It was there that she refined her talent and eventually caught the eye of music industry professionals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"1101\">Her big break came after signing with Mercury Nashville Records. Her second album, <em data-start=\"835\" data-end=\"852\">The Woman in Me<\/em>, launched her to international fame, and her third, <em data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"919\">Come On Over<\/em>, became the best-selling country album ever. Despite battling Lyme disease and the pain of a public divorce, Shania refused to give up, adapting her voice and continuing to perform.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1369\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In a heartening twist, she found love again and married Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Thi\u00e9baud. Today, Shania is celebrated not only for her iconic music but also for her strength and perseverance. Her journey from hardship to global stardom continues to inspire people around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shania Twain, born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, grew up in poverty in the remote town of Timmins.
