Catherine BannonCATHERINE BANNON WAS BORN IN CANADA and lived there until her family moved to the United States while she was in middle school. Despite living in the US for most of her life, she still finds the mix of cultures confusing, which is why her characters ly back and forth across the ocean so much. Catherine likes to travel but doesn't have to time to do as much of it as she wants. She also is fond of classical music, which drives her classic-rock husband crazy. Catherine likes to cook, and her idea of hell is being stuck somewhere with nothing to read. She likes cats, but doesn't have any at the moment because her husband is allergic to them. Occasionally she borrows a friend's cat or dog just to get her "furry friend fix". Catherine is a Christian and sings in her church choir. The church that where Joyce and Kenneth were married is the same one she went to for many years before she got married herself and moved out of town. Catherine works in the Employee Benefits office of a university in Cambridge, MA. She is married to Brad Bannon, a political analyst and adjunct political science professor. They live in Marshfield, MA, which is just south of Scituate. Read More Read Less
