About this book

Summary

While You Weren’t Looking is a tender, unflinching memoir told through moments that slip quietly between the cracks of everyday life. From childhood streets once alive with music to hospital wards heavy with exhaustion, each chapter captures the subtle ways time reshapes us, friendships that fade, neighborhoods that transform, love that dissolves in silence, and resilience that grows unseen. With honesty and lyrical reflection, Stephen Adetoye reveals how life’s most profound changes rarely arrive with fanfare. They creep in softly, reshaping who we are while our eyes are fixed elsewhere. This is a book about memory, loss, love, and the quiet strength that can be found in noticing what we once overlooked.
