The contrast invites discussion about faith, identity, and the pathways people take to find purpose.

Books Included in This Collection:
Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith
Communion is a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian in all the seasons of life JD Vance has experienced as a child, a young man, a husband, a father and a leader. Picking up in some ways where Hillbilly Elegy left off, Communion recounts how Vance’s pursuit of material privileges ultimately led him into a secular wilderness. Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.
HILLBILLY ELEGY
In this deeply moving memoir, Vance tells the story of his familys demons and of Americas problem with generational neglect. How his mother struggled against, but never fully escaped, the legacies of abuse, alcoholism, poverty and trauma.
