There are some stories that beg to be told. Shania Twain's rags-to-riches rise, a Cinderalla fable for the twenty-first century, is one of them. Raised dirt-poor in the mining towns of Northern Ontario, Shania Twain knew that singing was her only escape from poverty. During his research Robin Eggar travelled to Canada and Nashville, and talked to dozens of close friends and business associates - as well as Shania herself - to create an insightful, rounded portrait of the woman who, despite phenomenal success, remains a mystery to her millions of fans - until now.
