Penned by Rose Wilder Lane - a renowned newspaper reporter, political activist, and daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder who authored the beloved Little House series - this intimate biography unveils the life of Henry Ford. Lane collaborates directly with Ford, chronicling his journey from birth to the establishment of the Ford Motor Company, and his revolutionary use of assembly lines for mass car production.

Diverging Roads, set sometime between 1912 and 1919, is one of Lane’s earliest published novels (1919). It is somewhat autobiographical and depicts the life of Helen Davies. We meet Helen when she is about to graduate from high school and is in love with a fellow student, Paul. Both of their families are struggling financially. Paul must support his widowed mother; he begins work immediately—and over the course of the novel proves to be a good, hard-working man whose greatest ambition is to provide for his loved ones, Helen included.
