Overview
Ada Engle and Hans Krause are born in Torgau, Germany, during the rise of the Nazi party. Ada’s father, Theo Krause, is the assistant pastor of a Lutheran congregation. Jacob Engel, Hans’s father, is drafted and goes to war. Soon, Jacob and Theo are imprisoned for listening to Radio London. When the devastating war ends, Ada and Hans marry and decide to flee from Soviet-occupied East Germany. Ada succeeds in a dramatic flight through the “iron curtain.” In the escape she loses track of Hans. Living alone in West Germany, Ada finds a new church but grieves over the loss of her husband. When President Kennedy visits the Wall, she decides to go to America. With a student visa Ada attends Seton Hall University and becomes a paralegal. While working for two lawyers in Newark, another dramatic incident helps Ada find purpose in life. Will she ever be reunited with Hans?
“A fascinating account of our profound need for freedom and
meaning in life, and the quest for soul enrichment. With help from
others, our heroine escapes from an old way of life and finds
spiritual fulfillment beyond her early dreams.”
—Al McLeod, author of The North Wind Knows My Name
“David Glunt has created a masterpiece with The Fruit of
Torgau, a captivating historical novel about a dramatic escape
from behind the iron curtain to America and how a Christian
believer responds to cross-cultural encounters.”
