Different Flags by Eugenia Renskoff

Different Flags, a book by Eugenia Renskoff, tells the story of 26-year-old Ani. Ani leaves her comfortable but stifling life in San Francisco to travel to Argentina to comfort her widowed Aunt Esther. Once back in her native country, Ani must face her unexpected feelings of love for Padre Luis, her aunt's young and handsome parish priest. Different Flags is a study of Ani's inner conflict.

Tonight's Party!

December 20, 1982: My Tia and I are postponing the dreaded Matilde interview till after the holidays. In the meantime, we're paying that woman outrageous rent. I don't like her taking advantage of us (or my mother's American dollars).
I'm really looking forward to tonight's pre-Christmas parish party. Padre Luis is sure to be there (he has to attend) and I feel like the Queen invited me to a ball at Buckingham Palace! Never wore makeup in my life, but I'll ask my aunt to let me have some of her English-style cologne. Don't think I'll need rouge because I know I'll blush if I have to speak to him. There's this nice blue shirtwaist-style dress that I can wear. Can't wait for us to get to the church!
