Debut Novel from Doug Sellers

The Road to Belmont spans sixty-five years, following Minnie Hawley, born on the Oregon Trail in 1848, as she struggles against loss, forced marriage, exploitation, and violence—all while refusing to abandon her dreams of independence. It’s a tale of survival, resilience, and transformation, culminating in her building a life on her own terms in a world that gave her no place.
