From their first meeting, Trulee Macleod is unexpected―a waif who needs a laird’s protection. On his deathbed, Kieran’s father confesses his sins and gains Kieran’s vow to settle down and beget children.

Now he has an opportunity to find brotherhood, and solace. Can the waif secure his heart and help him defeat his past torment?

While captivating his readers with a precise, yet creative command of the English language, David Joel Nirenstein showcases his great love for metaphysics and philosophical ideology in “Wisdom of a Waif ”. David Joel Nirenstein’s “Wisdom of a Waif ” is not merely an eclectic collection of metaphysical poetry. To read “Wisdom of a Waif ” is to experience this author’s life-force, which breathes within. “I have undertaken the task of writing a book for one reason only: to put down my thoughts while I am able...I’m not taking any chances of leaving this thrilling world with a brain full of dead thoughts. I should like to be rather empty of all my prized ideas. “For thoughts should be considered eternal, whether or not one considers them to have any sort of life. Hence, I wouldn’t want to deprive them of the chance for immortality…” David Joel Nirenstein
