Different Flags, a book by Eugenia Renskoff, tells the story of 26-year-old Ani.

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.

Not Forgotten

Late 1987: I have not forgotten what it was like to stand before him and confess my love. I wish I could do it again. Forbidden or not, my feelings for Padre Luis were all too real.

Myself Again

October 25, 1987: Who am I now? It's a question I dare not answer. I am not the Ani I was before this trip to Argentina and I am not the new me either. Certainly not the new me. I don't know who that new woman is. All I know is that I am changed and that Luis had a lot to do with it. No, I am not putting him on some sort of pedestal. I am speaking from the heart. The way my eyes were opened as regards sex, love and psychological involvement came about because I met him, because I loved him.
