Vice President J. D. Vance has released a new memoir titled "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith." The book details Vance's conversion to Catholicism from evangelical Protestantism.

Vance converted to Catholicism, a development publicized in 2019 through an online interview with Rod Dreher. Vance received instruction in Catholicism from friars of the Dominican order. Vance and his wife, Usha, have three children and attend Mass on most Sundays.

Vance stated he has re-read the collected works of C. S. Lewis. He also stated that G. K. Chesterton's account of the human person "seemed right to me and still does." In April, Vance visited St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. "Here in Rome it was obvious: Caesar was dead. Christ still lived," Vance said.

Vance sat for interviews regarding his book prior to traveling to Switzerland. His family's Mass attendance sometimes draws attention. "Sometimes we arrive late, trailed by an army of Secret Service agents, and heads turn away from the service to stare at us. I quietly apologize, wondering if the other parishioners can tell that we didn't brush our daughter's hair," Vance said.

Vance's publishing history includes his debut memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," released in 2016. Before becoming Vice President, Vance served in the U.S. Marine Corps and is an alumnus of Ohio State University and Yale Law School. He worked in venture capital, including at a firm co-founded by Peter Thiel. Vance co-founded Narya Capital, which received funding from Thiel. In 2020, Vance invested in the Catholic prayer app Hallow through Narya Capital.
