Vance to release new book on Catholic conversion a decade after 'Hillbilly Elegy'.Vance to release new book on Catholic conversion a decade after 'Hillbilly Elegy' WASHINGTON (TNND) — Vice President JD Vance's new book on Catholic conversion and returning to faith will be released Tuesday, ten years after his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, launched him from author to political figure."Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith" was announced in March by publisher HarperCollins, which said the memoir focuses on how religion influences Vance's work as vice president and shapes his future goals."The story of how I regained my faith, of course, only happened because I had lost it to begin with," Vance wrote in the memoir."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." Vance grew up in an evangelical household in the Rust Belt, the backdrop of "Hillbilly Elegy," which was published years before he entered politics.As part of the promotional tour for his book, Vance is scheduled to appear on "The View" on Tuesday.The appearance comes as the Trump administration and Disney remain at odds over licensing renewals for ABC-owned television stations.Last month, Disney asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to exempt "The View" from the equal-time rule governing broadcast programs."Disney argues that The View qualifies as 'bona fide news' under the law, comparing itself to Meet the Press or Face the Nation," FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on X.
