Communion by J. D. Vance

From the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy comes a deeply personal account of faith lost and found. This intimate memoir traces Vice President JD Vance’s journey away from the Christianity of his youth—and the winding road that ultimately led him back.

Communion is a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian across all the seasons of a life: as a child, a young man, a husband, a father, and a leader. In many ways, it picks up where Hillbilly Elegy left off, recounting how the pursuit of material privilege led Vance into a kind of secular wilderness.

What follows is a story of return. Vance opens up about regaining his faith, his conversion to Catholicism, and how belief now shapes his work in public life and his hopes for the future.

Whether you loved his first memoir or you’re simply drawn to honest stories of doubt, searching, and homecoming, this one rewards a slow, thoughtful read. It’s the kind of book you’ll want to underline. To sit with. To carry down the Marginal Way and open on a bench with the sea air rolling in.

A candid look at one of the most talked-about figures in American public life—and the private convictions that guide him.
