Shania Twain

From humble beginnings in a dirt-poor mining town in Northern Canada, Shania Twain has become one of the most successful female solo artists of all time. At the age of eight her mother was taking her to sing in lumberjack bars and after-hours clubs; she lives now in a secluded Swiss mansion with her record producer husband and is worth over $100 million. Hits such as "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" ensured that her third album, "Come on Over", became the best-selling album in country music history. Robin Eggar has talked to close friends, family, and business associates to build a rounded portrait of the woman from the forests of Canada.
