The Audible editors have fallen in love with Lisa Brennan-Jobs's memoir. Here's why.
"Memoirs are my jam! I can be pretty picky about memoirs, and this just, it took the words out of my mouth, it took my breath away, it showed me new depths to memoir that I didn’t even know existed. It’s a really special memoir—and we hope you’ll enjoy it, and that it will speak to you as much as it did to us."—Rachel, Audible editor
"Narrator Eileen Stevens is wonderful. There are very few narrators who really are able to strike that tone where she’s embodying this person, she’s embodying her story in a way that feels—I know we like this word a lot, but—it’s authentic. It feels real."—Abby, Audible editor

Resumen del Editor
A frank, smart, and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs
Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents - artist Chrisann Brennan and Steve Jobs - Lisa Brennan-Jobs' 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, ushering her into a new world of mansions, vacations, and private schools. 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.
Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobs' poignant story of a childhood spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise, and funny, young Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the '70s and '80s, Small Fry is an enthralling audiobook by an insightful new literary voice.

Editor's Pick
Think Steve Jobs was a tough boss? Now imagine him as your dad.
"Apple founder Steve Jobs had a famously difficult personality, and it turns out this was never more true than in his relationship with his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs. He wouldn’t even admit he was her father in the beginning, and when he finally did, it came with all kinds of strings attached. Lisa’s gorgeous memoir gave me goosebumps as she described what it’s like to love and seek approval from one of the world’s most notoriously withholding personalities."

Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

The first section, "Folly", tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War.

Steve Jobs was a remarkable man who wanted to unify the world through technology. For him, the point was to set people free with tools to explore their own unique creativity. Chrisann Brennan knows this better than anyone. She met him in high school, at a time when Jobs was passionately aware that there was something much bigger to be had out of life, and that new kinds of revelations were within reach. The Bite in the Apple is the very human tale of Jobs's ascent and the toll it took.

Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

Historia
Told in three distinct and uniquely compelling sections, Asymmetry explores the imbalances that spark and sustain many of our most dramatic human relations: inequities in age, power, talent, wealth, fame, geography, and justice. The first section, "Folly", tells the story of Alice, a young American editor, and her relationship with the famous and much older writer Ezra Blazer. A tender and exquisite account of an unexpected romance that takes place in New York during the early years of the Iraq War.

Historia
Steve Jobs was a remarkable man who wanted to unify the world through technology. For him, the point was to set people free with tools to explore their own unique creativity. Chrisann Brennan knows this better than anyone. She met him in high school, at a time when Jobs was passionately aware that there was something much bigger to be had out of life, and that new kinds of revelations were within reach. The Bite in the Apple is the very human tale of Jobs's ascent and the toll it took.

Historia
Life with Picasso, written with Carlton Lake, is about Picasso the artist and Picasso the man. We hear him talking about painting and sculpture, his life, his career, as well as other artists, both contemporaries and old masters. We glimpse Picasso in his many and volatile moods, dismissing his work, exultant over his work, entertaining his various superstitions, being an anxious father. But Life with Picasso is not only a portrait of a great artist; it is also a picture of a talented young woman of exacting intelligence at the outset of her own notable career.

The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.

In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War.

In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes ’zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.

Here is the story of how, beginning well before the advent of machine production in the 1780s, these men captured ancient trades and skills in Asia, combined them with the expropriation of lands in the Americas and the enslavement of African workers to crucially recast the disparate realms of cotton that had existed for millennia. We see how industrial capitalism then reshaped these worlds of cotton into an empire, and how this empire transformed the world.

Simply Awesome
I’ve read and listened to a lot of books ... This one is one of my favorites. Beautifully written, touching and beautiful. I never thought of Steve as bad just as a human and Lisa as a kid growing through the trials and tribulations of growing up. Thank you for sharping your staring with us Lisa. I have two kids I don’t live with and live far apart from... touched me so deeply.
Truly an amazing book. Simply awesome! Thank you!

Captivating memoir of a childhood
This book will attract readers because of the famous father connection. But it stands on its own as a beautifully written story about a fractured family with multi-dimensional characters who are sympathetic and relatable despite the hurtful and hateful (and lying and cheating) actions they at times take. At the end I wanted to spend more time with Lisa and her mother. I hope she writes a sequel.

A Moving Memoir of Redemption
This book held me in thrall from beginning to end. I could identify easily with Lisa Brennan-Jobs as she describes incidences, big and small, of her growing up between, but not with, her two parents. From the often cruel coldness of her father to the mental instability of her mother, the years of her youth alternately living in poverty and luxury, she somehow never loses her love of both and somehow emerges intact, successful and at peace.
I recommend this book to everyone I think would appreciate it. Despite perhaps an over abundance of metaphors, I thought it beautifully written.
Having lived in the Palo Alto area for forty plus years, revisiting those familiar places in her memoir added even more to the pleasure in my reading of it.

Her words are precise, the foreshadowing unexpected, and her delivery splendidly adds dimension. I learned and felt so much that can be applicable to many different relationships.

Read many books around Steve Jobs
If Lisa Brennan-Jobs wasn't the daughter of Steve Jobs, this would be a very ordinary story about a very dysfunctional family. What makes this book stand apart is we have Lisa's mom, who obviously gave birth to Lisa, on one hand. Lisa's mom struggled to barely even keep a roof over their head while she was growing up (pre-teen), and sometimes wasn't even successful at that. Then you've got her dad - everyone knows as Steve Jobs (who even she refers to as "Steve" - not dad), who has unbelievable amounts of money and could solve all of their problems with a snap of his fingers. But Steve also lacks any level of empathy or compassion for the fate he put on Lisa.
Lisa's recall of even the most mundane details is amazing. I certainly don't have that much color of recollection of my upbringing much less last month. Throughout the story you keep waiting for Steve Jobs to just snap out of it and realize what he's got - and sometimes he does, but in the very next breath he is as vile and vulgar of a human being towards a daughter as anyone ever could be. Again - this isn't really much of a surprise to me.
It's a long journey to get to the end where Steve is realizing his mistakes. By then Lisa has found her voice in who she is in the world. She seems to have triumphed over what could have been a very bad adulthood given her circumstances of feast or famine.
Am I happy I read it? Yes - it gives me another layer of texture on Steve Jobs. In the end I hope she's doing o.k.

Thank you Lisa. This book captivated me. I was very sad when it ended. Proud of how you made it through with such honesty. One of my most favorite audible books so far.
Be well, be successful and proud!

Her experiences are valid but too much detail
Too obsessed with detail, quickly becomes hard to finish. Obviously has very toxic/immature human beings as parents hence the “whine”. People shouldn’t invalidate her experiences.

It’s a train wreck you can stop looking at
The story I found strange it’s a cross between a school girl crush and torment for her whole life. It’s an interesting insight into someone people put on a peristalsis but the more you understand how horrible a person Steve was.

A stubborn genius
I felt sorry for his daughter growing up but it was probably the best he could do for her. In a sense she could easily wound up another sad case of a druggie with or mental health problems when parents only give money and not time or life experience. He did in his own way perhaps get his heat felt goodbyes in to his final days with his daughter. A treasure we can all hope for regardless of circumstances.
