Misfortune struck soon after, forcing her to give up her dreams and become the only person helping her family.
What was once an escape for her turned into a voice that touches millions of people around the world.
She grew up in Timmins, a small town in Ontario, where she had to face constant struggles.
Her stepfather’s earnings, who worked in reforestation, were insufficient, and her mother struggled with depression.
Their financial situation was tough, and as one of five young children, she spoke little but was more comfortable with her singing.
She had to sing in bars to help her family, thus escaping the suffering of her life.
In addition to all this, she also suffered violence from her stepfather, both physically and emotionally.
In such circumstances, music was her only refuge.
She often went into the forests with her guitar, playing music that soothed her hunger and fear.
