Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs

This memoir from Lisa Brennan-Jobs, the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs, is making waves before it even hits shelves. Jobs’ widow has pushed back against the recollections described by her stepdaughter that paint the tech mogul in a less-than-stellar light, yet the memoir avoids becoming the traditional scathing tell-all thanks to Brennan-Jobs’ practical, forgiving toneaccording to the New York Times. After numerous biographies and biopics of the man himself, this memoir offers a glimpse into another facet of Jobs, and the ways in which the innovator affected the lives of those closest to him.
