Shania Twain's upbringing was anything but easy. She was born Eileen Regina Edwards and she wasn't born into a family of means. Her mother married Jerry Twain when she was four years old and she took his last name. However, their marriage was abusive and they broke up when she was a teenager. The two later got back together but they both died suddenly in a car accident in 1987. She was only 22 years old and she was left in charge of her three younger siblings. Shania tells Bustle that this prepared her for the music industry, and by the time she got to Nashville, she wasn't somebody who could be pushed around.
