Shania Twain’s later years
But survive it she did.
Shania found solace in music and used it to fuel her way out of her home.
It wasn’t until they were grown that she went back on the road and resumed her unstoppable trajectory.
She released her first album “Shania Twain” in 1993, but it was not well received.
Despite the numerous obstacles in her way, Twain pushed through and thrived.
