Quite a bit of fiction, with the requested background and "non-fiction" 
anecdotes embedded.  Several by Andrew Greeley--I can't give you titles, 
I'm very bad at titles, and don't really have time to browse the Greeley 
shelf of my books (I'd get stuck, sidetracked, and spend several days on 
it: you might check his bibliographies on the web), as well as mentions 
in a bunch of others, like Kienzle (who is all detective stories, but 
pretty reliable, I think, from a priest's POV) and others.  Sorry, I'm 
not into nunnish non-fiction, but I seem to vaguely remember some, but I 
might be conflating with the fiction.
