About the book

From South America With Love invites readers into the life of Carlos A. Curry, beginning in Colombia and carrying forward into his years of service, family, work, and reflection in the United States.

This is not a story built around one moment. It is a life told through many turning points. A childhood shaped by uncertainty. A young man’s decision to cross borders. A military career built on discipline. A lifelong respect for skill, labor, and personal responsibility.

The memoir explores what it means to carry two worlds within one life. Colombia remains part of Carlos’s memory, identity, and strength. America becomes the place where he builds, serves, learns, and gives back.

The result is a story about courage without exaggeration. A story about resilience without pretending life was easy. A story about how one person can turn hardship into wisdom and memory into legacy.
