The New York Timesâbestselling memoir by Steve Jobsâ daughter: âThis sincere and disquieting portrait reveals a complex father-daughter relationship.â âPublishers Weekly, starred review
Born on a farm and named in a field by her parentsâartist Chrisann Brennan and Steve JobsâLisa Brennan-Jobsâs childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisaâs father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new world of mansions, vacations, and private schools.
Lisa found her fatherâs attention thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable. When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school, Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping heâd become the parent sheâd always wanted him to be.
Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobsâs poignant story of childhood and growing up. Scrappy, wise, and funny, Lisa offers an intimate window into the peculiar world of this family, and the strange magic of Silicon Valley in the seventies and eighties.
