Back Cover:

Guilt, fear, failure, hurts... young Herbe Engelhardt is sucked into the swirling vortex of emotional confusion when his father divorces his mother, takes Herbe and his brother off to another home in a distant city, and naively thinks everything will be better.  Thereafter, Herbe is driven by insecurity and a hunger for something solid, for something he cannot name or understand.  He longs for something conspicuously missing in his disrupted childhood, missing in his psuedo-religious training, missing in his work as a glazier, missing, he discovers, even in Hitler's promising regime.

Is life a mindless progression of disappointments?  Is it a wasteland of pain and dashed hopes?  Must it be empty of purpose and meaning?

Bitter, frustrated, fighting a God he doesn't know or understand, Herbe comes to a moment of crisis.  In that one moment, that eternity against the wall, Herbe's destiny is determined.

This moving story is based on the real struggles of a boy who grew up in the emotional turmoil of a broken home and the political turmoil or Nazi Germany.

Don't be surprised if you find it nearly impossible to lay this book down until you have read the final page.  It will indelibly impress you with the importance of love, the emptiness of the world, and the goodness of God that leads to repentance.
