Synopsis

A sweeping tale of love, duty, and courage across a changing America in a world of gilded wealth and war.

F. Grant Gilmore’s The Problem: A Military Novel threads a rich inheritance of Southern privilege with the grit of military life and wartime service. Set against a backdrop of estates, social circles, and private longing, the story follows Freda Waters and her evolving sense of self as she navigates family loyalties, adoption, and a future shaped by duty. The novel combines romance, courtroom drama, and the demands of service as America expands its reach overseas, challenging characters to choose between personal happiness and larger responsibilities.

• Watch Freda’s journey through identity, love, and a pledge to serve others, including nursing wounded soldiers abroad.
• Experience scenes of military life, strategic decisions, and the personal costs of public roles.
• Experience themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the pull between private desire and public duty.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical romances with military settings, strong-willed heroines, and stories about love tested by social expectations and national events.
