Shania Twain appeared on the May 3, 2011 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Twain has not sat down for a television interview in over five years and is now returning to the spotlight to talk about her new book "From This Moment On." In her new book Shania Twain talks about her difficult childhood and the pain she went through after she found out that her husband had cheated on her, with her best friend. Shania said that she was in so much pain that she thought she was dying, and she wrote a letter to her best friend begging for her to leave her family alone, so that she could have her husband back.
Shania Twain has been traumatized by a combination of witnessing domestic violence as a child, having to pick up the pieces after her parents died when she nineteen years old, and her husband and best friends betrayal. Her vocal cords have become so tight that she has been unable to sing sing for the past five years. She hopes that by dealing with her painful past she will be able to relax and sing for her fans again. Shania Twain told Oprah that she can not imagine never singing again.
The 45-year-old star is picking up the pieces, and writing ""From This Moment On" was part of her healing process. She has found love again and has remarried. She hopes that her book and OWN documentary series "Why Not?" will help others who are trying to overcome difficulties in their own lives.
