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.

Life

December 20, 1985: Almost Navidad again. Time to think about my life and what I will do with it. I don´t know what to do with it and it worries me.

Hard

December 15, 1985: I have a hard time accepting the fact that my Tia´s illness is hopeless. I don´t want to lose her. She, on the other hand, is resigned to her fate.

Nice

December 6, 1985. It was a really good birthday. Some of our old neighbors came to see her and my Tia´s face was no longer wrinkled. Her eyes shone and sadness dids not exist.

Hugs

December 5, 1985: I want my Tia to have hugs, plenty of hugs today. It´s her birthday. Nothing should make this day uncomfortable or remind her of our uncertain, always uncertain, situation.

Why

December 2, 1985: Why do I love him? Why Luis? No, the priest thing isn´t it. I never cared about that, never will. It´s not like authority figures were ever important to me.

Another

November 30, 1985: Another year is almost gone. What have I accomplished to make my Tia´s situation better? What have I done for me, to make me happier, if not altogether happy?
