A New York Times and New Yorker Top 10 Book of the Year

Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents - 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, 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.

Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is a poignant coming-of-age story from one of our most exciting new literary voices.

"Entrancing...Brennan-Jobs is a deeply gifted writer...Her inner landscape is depicted in such exquisitely granular detail that it feels as if no one else could have possibly written it. Indeed, it has that defining aspect of a literary work: the stamp of a singular sensibility...Beautiful, literary, and devastating."
New York Times Book Review 

"An intimate, richly drawn portrait...Small Fry is a memoir of uncommon grace, maturity, and spare elegance...The reader of this exquisite memoir is left with a loving, forgiving remembrance and the lasting impression of a resilient, kindhearted and wise woman who is at peace with her past."
San Francisco Chronicle

"Extraordinary...An aching, exquisitely told story of a young woman's quest for belonging and love."
People

"Mesmerizing, discomfiting reading...A book of no small literary skill."
New Yorker

"This heartfelt, emotional and exceedingly well-written coming-of-age memoir is a warts-and-all portrait, laced with resilience and healing... Brennan-Jobs is an outstanding storyteller, and her empowering tale of overcoming dysfunctional family relationships with haunt readers."
