A friend of mine in Israel sent this to me. It was written by his neighbor:
Publisher’s blurb: Ayelet, a 17 year old Israeli orthodox young woman meets a 21 year old yeshiva student by chance. She is very popular, he an outsider with no hope of attracting her attention in normal circumstances. But Ayelet is a cancer patient who finds spiritual comfort in his presence, and so develops a relationship which leads to love. Yet, they will not marry since Ayelet is going to die, and traditional law forbids even the slightest touch between the two. The story follows their personal conflicts, and the ups and downs of their relationship, leading to extraordinary results. Vice Versa, originally published in Hebrew as HaHefech, received enthusiastic acclaim in the Israeli press. Now translated into English for the first time, this work provides a glimpse into the orthodox Jewish community of Israel, that is rarely seen. http://www.amazon.com/Vice-Versa-Yehoshua-Greenberg-ebook/dp/B00K5TOWKA/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1400524957&sr=1-2&keywords=vice+versa
