Every major character in Until I Find You has been marked for life – not only William Burns, a church organist who is addicted to being tattooed, but also William's son, Jack, an actor who is shaped as a child by his relationships with older women. And Jack's mother, Alice – a Toronto tattoo artist – has been permanently damaged by William's rejection of her. This is a novel about the loss of innocence, on many levels.

0From Irving in EW roundup: "It's the most autobiographical novel I've written. Jack Burns' sexual childhood and adolescence, and the degree to which older women always had a hold on him - that part, and just that part - actually is autobiographical."
