Small Fry

Born on a farm, the child of artist Chrisann Brennan and Steve Jobs, Lisa Brennan-Jobs's childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her; his attention was 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 he'd become the parent she'd always wanted him to be. This is Brennan-Jobs's childhood-- spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes, both in fascinating but disparate worlds. -- adapted from publisher info.
