Her second album release, Hearts in Armor (1992) reflected Yearwood’s own personal issues, which won her widespread critical acclaim among music critics and further success in country music. Aside from her success in country music, she has also donated her time as a philanthropist, working with Habitat for Humanity and the Make a Wish Foundation. in high school, Yearwood and her sister Beth were A students, and Yearwood took a strong interest in becoming an accountant. She then attended The University of Georgia, however grew unhappy with the school’s large campus, and transferred in 1985 to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The previous record had been held by Marie Osmond in 1973 with her single, “Paper Roses.” Three other singles from her debut album also reached the Top 10 on the country chart — “Like We Never Had a Broken Heart” (co-written by Garth Brooks), “The Woman Before Me,” and “That’s What I Like About You.” Her album eventually sold a million copies and was certified “Platinum” (and later on, “2× Multi-Platinum”), with Yearwood therefore also becoming the first female artist to sell a million copies of her first album. She was also the subject of the book, Get Hot or Go Home, a full length biography of Yearwood’s life and career written by Lisa Gubernick. Her debut album’s popularity helped Yearwood win a series of major industry awards. With her second album, Yearwood chose songs that came from her own emotional conflicts following her divorce from her first husband, Chris Latham.
