Names that Stay
About
Names that Stay
by Jean Petit Muron
Some names don’t fade. They echo. They bloom in silence. They become poetry.
In Names that Stay, Jean Petit Muron invites you into a world of quiet revelations and slow-burning love, where a single glance can hold a universe, and a name once whispered can live forever. Told with the elegance of a love letter and the wisdom of a journal kept through seasons of longing, this novel captures the soul of human connection—its fragility, its endurance, and its quiet, sacred power.
At the heart of the story is a young man who falls not all at once, but slowly, into the gravity of a girl named Aidah—known to him as Mazo. As life unfolds between passing moments, texted poems, and waiting under verandas, their silent promises take root in the reader’s heart. But when love speaks in silence, how do you know if it will stay?
Perfect for fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and the lyrical depth of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, this is a story for anyone who has ever waited, written, or remembered a name that stayed.
A novel about memory, presence, and the kind of love that does not ask to be loud—only to be true.
