When Shania Twain's parents were both killed in a car accident when she was 21, chaos took full effect in her life. Left to raise her five brothers and sisters, her music career got somewhat put on hold. But her life has turned into a fairy tale, and is now far from any sad country song found on an old juke box in a bar in the middle of nowhere.

Shania's story may well be the great American dream; that is, the great North American dream since Shania Twain is from Canada. Born August 28, 1965, the second oldest of five siblings, Shania was raised in Timmins, Ontario, where her father (an Ojibway Indian) and mother were ... brought up. It was a proud but, at times, impoverished existence. There may have been a struggle to keep enough food in the cupboards but there was always an abundance of love and music in the household.

Twain was born in Windsor, Ontario, and raised in the small, rural town of Timmins, Ontario. As a child, she learned to play guitar at an early age and would spend much of her time singing, writing, and playing. Early on in her musical development, her parents pushed her on stage, making her perform frequently around their little town; often, she would be pulled out of bed around one in the morning to sing at local bars, since as a child she could only appear in the clubs after they had stopped serving alcohol. In addition to bars, she sang on local radio and television stations and community events. When she was 21 years old, both of her parents died in a car crash, forcing her to take responsibility for her four younger brothers. In order to pay the bills and keep food on the table, she took a job singing at a resort in Deerhurst.
