Ruby Steward has mastered the art of composure.

Her career is stable.

Her image is polished.

She knows exactly how to keep everything under control.

As a Black woman navigating corporate America, Ruby understands that perception matters. Strength must look effortless. Confidence must never look threatening. And sometimes the safest thing to do is stay quiet — even when it costs you.

But silence has a way of building pressure.

The small moments add up.

The meetings where her voice is overlooked.

The conversations where she chooses peace over truth.

The expectations to remain composed no matter what.

At work.

In relationships.

In the spaces where she should feel the most seen.

Inside Ruby, something is growing.

The more she pushes it down, the stronger it becomes.

The Tiger in My Head is a contemporary women's fiction psychological novel about ambition, identity, and the quiet ways women are taught to shrink themselves to survive in spaces shaped by corporate power and perception.

But eventually, survival isn't enough.

And when a woman stops making herself smaller…

everything changes.

Some stories roar.

This one builds — until it can’t be ignored.

Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven contemporary women's fiction, stories about identity and personal awakening, and powerful narratives about finding your voice.
