Joya Goffney deftly explores intergenerational trauma in her latest book "My Week With Him." The night we meet Nikki, she has plans to escape the drama of her small-town life in Texas and run off to Los Angeles to audition to be a producer. But a quick trip back to her house leads to an explosive fight with her mother, ending with Nikki getting thrown out with no place to stay. Nikki turns to her former best friend Mal, who convinces her to stay one more week so they can repair their relationship before she leaves to chase her dreams. In the week before Nikki's departure, she faces her sister's sudden disappearance, developments in her relationship with Mal, and revelations about her mother's past that offer insight into their own tumultuous mother-daughter dynamic. With the clock ticking down to Nikki's exit, Nikki hopes to mend her family before she leaves, alongside the boy who has always had her back.
