Product Description
Product Description
Shania Twain is the hottest woman in country music. With a truckload of number one hits, album sales to rival those of fellow Canadian divas Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette, scores of major awards (including a Grammy for Best Country Album), and legions of loyal fans around the world, she is the reigning goddess of New Country. But it took true grit for this sultry songbird to rise from a hardscrabble childhood to megastardom.
The life of Shania Twain is a Cinderella story plucked from a country song. After growing up in poverty in the north woods of Canada, singing in bars since the age of eight, and taking care of her younger siblings when her parents died tragically, she adopted the name Shania (Ojibwa Indian for "I'm on my way"). Signed to a recording contract, she went on to meet and marry her Prince Charming, superproducer "Mutt" Lange. Together they created The Woman in Me, the biggest-selling album by a female artist in country music history. With her latest release, Come on Over, Shania is about to reach even greater heights .
ON HER WAY is the dazzling chronicle of a dynamic, determined woman, a rags to riches story that will break your heart one moment and send it soaring the next.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was disappointed with this book as it is not an official biography of Shania Twain. Although the book has been written well with plenty of detail, I was hoping for a more personal feel and input from Shania herself. The main content of the book is the songs from the album and how they were written.
Don't get me wrong it is an interesting book but not what I was expecting.

Shania
21 Jan 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a very informative book on the history of shania and her family. It tells the story of her troubled past and all the hardships she had to overcome in order to be the person she is today. The book is a little outdated and will not cover much of her life after about 1998-99. Overall this is a great book to learn about the life of one of the greatest cross-over country singers in history.

THIS GIRL HAS COME A LONG WAY
11 July 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was better then I expected and the one thing that I really like was the author took actual quokes that Shania had made over the years to tie everything together. He didn't over praise her nor did he bash her but showed how far she'd come from singing in a Las Vegas style place in Canada to recording one of the best selling albums in Country Music history. The photos were great and over all, it was worth reading.

surprisingly tasty
13 April 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Picked it up waiting in line in an east-kansas wal-mart. Couldn't put it down. I was expecting your garden-variety teen idol trash that you usually read while waiting in line to pay for your Funions and Blue Star Ointment. I picked it up for the cover shot of Shania, but kept it for the intensity of the words that lay behind the photo. Gray is obviously a guy as passionate about Twain as I am. To him, the scribe, I would like to say: "Keep scribblin'". After tossing a Carmex and a pack of Chiclets in my bag, I gladly paid the blue-vested cashier and rushed home to learn the rest of the story. Thank you Shania, for the music, and Mr. Gray for the courage to bring her story to us!
On Her Way is a must-read for anyone who waves the young-country flag.
