Sonya Curry chronicles the never-before-shared story of raising her children and her lifelong devotion to education, family, and faith.
New York, NY — HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, has just announced the forthcoming release of Fierce Love: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose (U.S. on-sale: May 3, 2022), the riveting and inspiring new memoir by Sonya Curry, the mother of NBA stars Steph and Seth Curry, and daughter Sydel Curry-Lee.
Sonya reveals the story of her life for the first time ever—from what it was like raising her famous children, to her passion for education, and how her undying devotion to faith and family helped her find true meaning and purpose in life.
Like her superstar sons and extraordinary daughter, Curry’s journey has been filled with hard-fought victories, but hers took place out of the limelight. Until now.
“From the beginning, my mom has been a rock of encouragement, faith, discipline, and gratitude for me and my siblings,” Steph Curry said about his mom’s new book.
Seth Curry has also shown support of his mom’s memoir, stating: “My mom was always the one to challenge us growing up,” he said. “You can see her greatest qualities in each and every one of us.”
In Fierce Love, 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 spiritual connection to her faith.
Throughout Fierce Love, Sonya writes with deep love and honesty, revealing moments and aspects of her life that played an integral role in her personal story and identity. She shares how the love of her children and education have been the foundations of her life, and how faith has always sustained her, especially during the most difficult times in her life.
“I can’t wait for everyone to meet my mom through her powerful story,” daughter Sydel Curry-Lee said. “My mom has been such a pillar for our family.”
Fierce Love, a wise and illuminating story of family, faith, and purpose, is sure to become a classic. 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 strength.
SONYA CURRY is an entrepreneur, educator, and founder of the Christian Montessori School of Lake Norman in North Carolina, as well as co-host of the “Raising Fame” podcast. She is the mother of Stephen and Seth Curry and Sydel Curry-Lee, and often speaks about her experiences as a mother, educator, and Christian—sharing testimony about her faith, parenting, and education.
