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.

Regrets

May 20, 1983: ´´You are like a daughter to me, Ani,´´ My Tia said to me this afternoon. ´´Your Tio always wanted to adopt, but I did not.´´
My mother had told me that my uncle wanted to go to an orphanage and fill out ab application. I was curious to know why she always refused.
´´I did not want them to take the baby back.´´
´´But a son or daughter would be great company for you now, Tia.´´
´´We did not fo it, Ani. Now it is too late for regrets.´´
