John Toth
Author's Bio
John Toth was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1955 and, at the age of 10, escaped Communist-controlled Hungary with his mother, beginning a new life in Vienna, Austria, before receiving political asylum in the United States. After overcoming language barriers and adapting to life in three countries, he discovered a passion for writing and journalism, graduating from the City College of New York with a degree in Communications. John went on to build an accomplished journalism career in Texas, working for several newspapers, including the Houston Chronicle, where he earned prestigious awards for investigative and spot reporting. He later co-founded The Bulletin, a longtime community newspaper in Brazoria County, Texas, with his wife, Sharon. Inspired by years of sharing his family’s escape story and by a desire to preserve it for his children and future generations, John wrote No Turning Back, the powerful memoir of his and his mother’s journey from Soviet-occupied Hungary to freedom in America.
