Fierce Love

Sonya Curry chronicles the never-before-shared story of raising her children and her lifelong devotion to education, family, and faith. Sonya Curry’s journey, like those of her extraordinary sons and daughter, was filled with defeats and hard-fought victories, but hers took place out of the limelight, without the eyes of the world watching, cheering, or drawing inspiration from her example. Until now. In this inspiring memoir, Sonya tells her story for the first time, beginning with her childhood in rural Virginia and moving through the peaks and valleys of an incredible life—from raising her immensely gifted but sometimes headstrong children, to becoming an educator and founding a Montessori school, to discovering a profound, life sustaining connection to God and faith. Fierce Love is a wise and illuminating story of family, faith, and purpose. With something for everyone—seekers, sports fans, people of faith, lovers of memoir— it’s one strong mother’s gift to all who wonder how, where, and whether they’ll find the strength. Sonya writes with deep love and honesty about her children’s struggles and successes, their wins and losses, their highs and lows—all which are an integral part of her own story and identity, yet are only piece of each. While her love of education and her children are the foundations of her life, it is Sonya’s faith that sustains her. She reveals how a profound personal crisis led to the ultimate answer in her life—a deep, personal connection with God which has brought her comfort and serenity. A wise and illuminating story of family, faith, and love, Fierce Love has something for everyone—whether a spiritual seeker, a sports fans, a parent, or a teacher. Ultimately, it is one strong mother’s gift to all the mothers, especially those facing difficulties who are searching for the strength to carry on.
