Fierce Love - Large Print by Sonya Curry (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

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.

In this candid memoir about raising an extraordinary family in the world of professional sports, Sonya shares the hard-won wisdom that guided her through it all:

• A Foundation of Faith: From her childhood in rural Virginia to finding a life-sustaining connection with God, discover how Sonya made faith the bedrock of her family, even when tested.
• Parenting with Purpose: Go beyond the headlines and learn the real-life strategies she used to raise three immensely gifted children, instilling discipline, humility, and resilience.
• The Montessori Method: Learn why she traded the sidelines for the classroom, founding her own Montessori school to give her children and community an education that follows the child.
• Life in the NBA Spotlight: A candid look at navigating the pressures and triumphs of life as an NBA family, and the fierce love required to keep everyone grounded when the world is watching.
