Born in Timmins, Ontario, to a struggling family, she grew up in poverty with little food, heat, or electricity. Her stepfather\u2019s low-paying job and her mother\u2019s depression made life difficult for Shania and her four siblings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"462\" data-end=\"760\">To help her family, she began singing in bars at age eight. Despite exhaustion from juggling school, work at McDonald\u2019s, and late-night performances, music became her escape. Behind the scenes, she also endured abuse from her stepfather, both physical and sexual, which she kept secret for years.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"1062\">At 22, tragedy struck when her parents died in a car crash. Shania took responsibility for raising her younger siblings, working at a resort to provide for them. Once they were grown, she pursued her own dream, recording demos that led to a deal with Mercury Nashville and the launch of her career.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1319\">She married music producer Robert \u201cMutt\u201d Lange, with whom she co-wrote hits that made her a household name. However, she later struggled with vocal issues caused by Lyme disease and faced heartbreak when Lange had an affair with her close friend\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1565\">In an unexpected twist, she found love again with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Thi\u00e9baud, the ex-husband of the woman involved in the affair. They married in 2011, and Twain has since embraced her past with forgiveness, gratitude, and a renewed passion for music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shania Twain\u2019s Inspiring Journey Shania Twain is a global superstar today, but her early life was far from glamorous.
