Some Things Stay

By Mr. Sammy Jallad

A quiet rescue dog. A second chance. A love story that doesn't ask for attention - but stays anyway.

Set in Amman, Jordan, Some Things Stay follows Ella - a woman rebuilding her life after heartbreak - and Amir, a guarded man with a daughter who believes in miracles. When a struggling animal shelter becomes the unlikely link between their worlds, what unfolds isn't a typical romance.

It's slower. Softer. Deeper.

It's about showing up - even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard.

This debut novel is perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, emotionally rich storytelling, found family, and books that leave you feeling something. Featuring a rescue dog named Buddy, Middle Eastern warmth, and unforgettable characters, Some Things Stay is a love letter to grief, growth, and the people who stay when it matters most.

Themes include:

- Slow burn romance

- Found family

- Second chances

- Animal rescue and emotional healing

- Middle Eastern setting (Amman, Jordan)

Some stories don't need to shout to be heard.
