From the Jobs Family Album

In August 2011, when Jobs was very ill, we sat in his room and went through wedding and vacation pictures for

me to use in this book.

The wedding ceremony, 1991: Kobun Chino, Steve’s Sōtō Zen teacher, shook a stick, struck a gong, lit incense, and chanted.

With his proud father Paul Jobs: After Steve’s sister Mona tracked down their biological father, Steve refused ever to meet him.

Cutting the cake in the shape of Half Dome with Laurene and his daughter from a previous relationship, Lisa Brennan.

Laurene, Lisa, and Steve: Lisa moved into their home shortlyafterward and stayed through her high school years.

Steve, Eve, Reed, Erin, and Laurene in Ravello, Italy, 2003: Even on vacation, he often withdrew into his work.

Dangling Eve in Foothills Park, Palo Alto: “She’s a pistol and has the strongest will of anykid I’ve ever met. It’s like payback.”
