Divergent Paths: A Life Reexamined is an autobiography written by Kingston Fletcher with Carol Pine. The book recounts the life of Kingston Fletcher - a boy raised in privilege in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - who chose a path markedly different from his peers. He pursued sportscasting instead of a Wall Street career, cut his teeth in business selling cars for Studebaker in Mexico and Europe, and was drafted into the Army well past the age of his peers. He was one among a handful of Ivy League graduates hired by Procter & Gamble after World War II to create and build the company's international business. He lived in multiple countries, learned several languages and had the freedom of an entrepreneur. Fletcher's personal and community life was equally diverse including saving an opera company from financial ruin, competing in public speaking contests and captaining a one-design racing sailboat until he was 89.
