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.

Jealousy

May 13, 1983:A woman came to see Luis this afternoon. She was blonde, well dressed and spoke with a great porteño accent (the Buenos Aires version of a NYC accent). I dress in darkish colors, more or less like a nun. When she kissed him on the cheeks, I pretended to be busy looking through the new donations. Who was she to kiss him like that? I wanted to be the one to do that. I wanted to be her.
