Acclaimed singer-songwriter Shania Twain is set to share her journey in a unique format as she narrates a new audiobook version of her memoir, *From This Moment On*, which was first published in 2011. This upcoming release, scheduled for 6 October, offers a fresh perspective on Twain’s life and career, as she reflects on her transformation into a music icon.
In an exclusive excerpt shared with *PEOPLE*, Twain discusses the significance of revisiting her life story after a decade. The memoir paints a vivid picture of her challenging upbringing, detailing her experiences as the eldest of five children raised in a difficult environment in Canada. The narrative unfolds to reveal the impact of personal tragedy, including the death of her parents in a car crash when she was just 22, forcing her into the role of guardian for her younger siblings.
Twain’s memoir not only captures her rise to fame but also illustrates her “process of healing,” a journey she undertook while navigating the complexities of her early life and professional career. The upcoming audiobook will include a new foreword, wherein Twain reflects on her current perspective and the lessons learned along the way.
“Returning to my story after all these years gave me the chance to reflect on the journey from where I am today,” Twain remarked. She expressed her hope that listeners would feel an intimate connection to her tale, as if they were conversing one-on-one. “I hope listening feels personal – like we’re sitting down together and I’m telling you my story myself,” she added.
In conjunction with the audiobook release, Twain will also be launching an extended version of her seventh studio album, *Little Miss Twain — The Places I’ll Go*, on 9 October. This album will feature five new songs, further enriching her artistic offerings.
Fans can anticipate a unique listening experience when Twain narrates her own story in her distinctive voice. The memoir not only serves as a testament to her resilience but also as a source of inspiration for many who face adversity.
With her engaging narrative style, Twain aims to draw her audience into the emotionally charged chapters of her life, from her struggles with poverty to her meteoric rise in the music industry. As one of the best-selling female artists in country music history, her insights are sure to resonate with both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
The audiobook of *From This Moment On* is poised to attract attention not only for its personal revelations but also as a companion piece to Twain’s upcoming album. As she continues to evolve as an artist and storyteller, her fans eagerly await the new insights she will share through her words and music.
As Twain embraces this new chapter in her career, her memoir’s audiobook promises an opportunity for listeners to connect with the artist on a deeper level, gaining an understanding of the woman behind the music. For those interested in Twain’s journey, the return to her roots through her memoir and new album is set to offer a rich and powerful experience.
