Escaping a black hole

I'm writing a very nontechnical science fantasy with a star-ship (literally a giant spacecraft toting around a star) in stable orbit around a black hole. It uses one of the "stellar engines" mentioned here

Eventually, the spacecraft has to be able to break free, but I'm not sure how. I'm currently favoring a scenario where the spacecraft pushes the star towards the black hole, but would this generate enough force to escape? I'm also considering having the star go nova, but would it be possible to survive that? What would be the best solution?
