Fierce Love

A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose

By: Sonya Curry

Narrated by: Sonya Curry

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

A Mother’s Story

I enjoyed listening to Ms Curry share the stories of her life and that of her family. I could identify with many similar experiences raising my children, the raw emotions when they leave the next and the biggest question- what’s next?

i loved it, i think the audible was the best way

Thank you!

You have been where I am now, with the heart you have for the Lord and your children. Thank you for opening your life to be an inspiration and best practice guide for me

Captivating memoir on an incredible woman!

Sonya Curry story is intriguing and and kept me captivated. She was vulnerable and real. Performance could have been better but it did not take away from the beautifully written memoir. Must read for moms everywhere.

Affirming!

Thank you, Sonya, for being obedient and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I appreciated the telling of your story and normalizing the faith walk. I enjoyed the experience of your reality, especially when you would dialogue with yourself and God. I drew many parallels as I listened. -- If you enjoy listening to and are inspired by the journey of others OR are a Curry family fan, you won't be disappointed. The reading is a bit choppy at times, but you get used to it as you listen. The words are spoken from the heart.

Strong Woman, Mom, and Wife

Looks are definitely deceiving. I assumed Sonya Curry, in all of her beauty, was probably a dainty and pompous girl when she was growing up. Then, once she became a mom with famous children, I assumed it would perpetuate conceit. I was TOTALLY wrong! Sonya was/is the complete opposite of everything I had assumed. The reason I was drawn to her book was because of Steph Curry, of whom I'm a fan. This book did not disappoint me. Sonya is tactfully candid about her upbringing, her mistakes, her faith, and parenting. She's a stern buy loving mom who is smart, spiritual, and stubborn at times. However, she has raised three beautiful and successful children, mostly by herself. I can tell she wore the pants in her marriage by her strong will and assertiveness. Dell is mentioned like an afterthought, so if you are expecting her to discuss the divorce, you won't get that here. Sonya was respectful and discrete to a degree. She and Dell were really night and day, it seemed, and only married out of necessity, it seemed. Sonya is such a strong-willed woman that it will take a man with a spine to be able to handle her. She definitely needs someone who is smart enough and strong enough to challenge her. Now that her children are grown, I believe she's found her nitch with writing. This book was enjoyable, and many wives and moms will be able to relate to it. I wish Sonya the best. I hope she considers a parenting podcast or a ministry podcast.

Trusting in God to guide you.

Love her relationship with God and family. Big fan of this family. I would recommend this book to anyone. Even families that aren’t famous can relate!

Great Parenting examples

Honest, realistic but a little choppy. I didn’t know much about the Curry family. I appreciate her story.

A story of parenting on purpose

Valuable lessons and a great story. Her voice was often flat and not engaging. Overall a great read.

Wonderful and personable

Wonderful parenting story. Refreshing, inspiring and vulnerable— she shares the hopes, fears, and joys that so may mothers experience.
