Summary
The review says that "Brennan-Jobs herself never addresses the question of his legacy; her book is written from the perspective of a child longing for a father." Brennan-Jobs’s memoir covers her childhood in Palo Alto with her mother, Chrisann Brennan, and her father's, Steve Jobs, estrangement throughout Lisa’s childhood in Silicon Valley. It details emotional abuse, with Jobs even failing to name her as one of his children when Lisa was three years old.

The eldest of Steve Jobs’s three children, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, was born on May 17, 1978. Jobs at first denied that Brennan-Jobs was his daughter until the government threatened to sue him, by which point he paid Brennan for child support. Jobs visited his daughter as a teenager, though he acted “cold and had extreme demands for what being a member of the family entailed.” Small Fry recounts Brennan-Jobs’s experiences with Jobs, his expectations for her, and the moments they shared as father and daughter.

Reception
The review aggregator website Book Marks reported that 56% of critics gave the book a "rave" review, whilst 38% of the critics expressed "positive" impressions, based on a sample of 16 reviews. The New York Times gave it a positive review and called it an "entrancing memoir." It also called Brennan-Jobs "deeply gifted writer" with a "singular sensibility." It goes so far as to say that "in the fallen world of kiss-and-tell celebrity memoirs, this may be the most beautiful, literary and devastating one ever written."

Supplementary Works
The Bite in The Apple is another memoir written by Chrisann Brennan detailing her and Jobs’s relationship as well as the circumstances of Lisa Brennan-Jobs’s birth.

Brennan also wrote a letter to Jobs in December 2005, requesting money from the multi-millionaire in order to compensate for the hard experiences of his abandoned family. She thanked him for all the resources that Jobs had given Brennan and Brennan-Jobs over the years but added that Jobs had “so much money” that should be given to the Brennan mother and daughter for Brennan’s “decency” and “closure”.
