About Celeste Behe

Celeste Behe grew up in New York, where she studied literature at Barnard College, worked as a research law librarian, and sang with the Musica Pro Domino choir before marrying Mike and moving to Pennsylvania. Celeste is now a Senior Writer at Faith & Family magazine and a contributor to the National Catholic Register. She is a nostalgist who, according to one book author, "writes like Garrison Keillor would, if he were Catholic and had nine kids.” Celeste is currently working on a memoir-cum-cookbook entitled “Nine Kids, No Dishwasher: A Catholic Woman's Celebration of Life, Love, and Table."
