The Toby Press mourns the loss of brilliant author and dear friend,
Donald Harington. Mr. Harington passed away just before midnight on November 7th.
 
Toby is the proud publisher of
Mr. Harington's fifteen novels that celebrated life in the Ozark Mountains
of Mr. Harington's childhood. It was our honor to promote the "undiscovered continent" that was Mr. Harington's work, and we are touched to know that
a copy of his new novel, so appropriately entitled Enduring, was on his reading table in the hospice where he died.
