WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance, renowned for his bestselling writing, is set to release a new book that explores his spiritual journey, slated for late spring publication.
Entitled “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” this upcoming work has been in the making since 2019. Vance, now 41, delves into his conversion to Catholicism while sharing insights from his political career and experiences as a father.
“I’ve been working on this book for quite some time, and I’m thrilled to finally have the opportunity to share my story with everyone,” Vance remarked about his 304-page memoir. “Communion is a reflection of my personal journey and my path back to faith.”
It’s unusual for a vice president to publish a book they’ve authored during their tenure. Notably, his predecessors, Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, opted to release their books after leaving office.
Vance first captivated audiences with his 2016 bestseller “Hillbilly Elegy,” a poignant account of his challenging upbringing in Appalachia with a mother battling addiction. He has once again partnered with HarperCollins Publisher for this latest memoir.
“The narrative of rediscovering my faith only exists because I had lost it initially,” Vance shared.
“The interesting question that hangs over this book, and over my mind, is why I ever strayed from the path. Why the Christian faith of my youth failed to properly take root. I’m glad I found my way back to the Church. I learned much along the way.”
Vance, who was raised in a Protestant household, became an atheist before converting to Catholicism in 2019.
His last book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” sold over 3 million copies and was adapted into a 2020 movie directed by Ron Howard. Six years after that book hit shelves, Vance ran for Ohio Senate, and President Trump later tapped him as veep.
Other prominent speculated 2028 presidential hopefuls, such as Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D), and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), have all released or are set to release books.
Oftentimes, aspiring candidates will publish books before launching a presidential campaign. But Vance has publicly stated that he’s more focused on the 2026 midterm elections rather than 2028.
News about “Communion” comes a day after his wife, Usha, launched her podcast “Storytime with the Second Lady” to encourage children to read.
The second couple has three children, and Usha is pregnant with a fourth.
