Steve Jobs' high school girlfriend is writing a tell-all book about their relationship and giving birth to their daughter, Lisa.
St. Martin's Press, part of Macmillan, said on Thursday it had acquired rights to an untitled memoir by Christann Brennan, who is now a painter based in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to the New York Times.
Brennen was one of Jobs' first serious loves and his high school girlfriend.
NYT reported:
"After meeting him at Homestead High School in Cupertino, Calif., Ms. Brennan later lived with Mr. Jobs in a cabin, meditated with him and attended lectures. 'At 17, Steve had more than a touch of the cool sophistication of a Beat poet,' Ms. Brennan wrote in an article in Rolling Stone after his death. While in her early 20s, she became pregnant and gave birth to their daughter, who is known as Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Mr. Jobs initially denied paternity of his daughter but later developed a closer relationship with her."
It was reported that Brennan's memoir will cover a range of subjects, including her relationship with Jobs, the founding of Apple and, "Jobs's enormous appeal, energy and drive as well as his developing ambition and ruthlessness in business and personal dealings."
CBS reported that Lisa Brennan-Jobs, now 34, is a writer based out of New York.
Jobs died in October 2011 at 56. He was battling pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009, according to CBS.
A book about the Apple creator, "Steve Jobs," was published by Simon & Schuster on Oct. 24, 2011 and written by Walter Isaacon. It features over 40 interviews about Jobs conducted over two years, including more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues.
It is further described:
Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
According to CultofMac, the book will be published in 2013.
