Watermelon Hill is a look at the life and times of the forties and fifties as seen through the eyes of a young boy growing up on a poor farm in eastern Kentucky. Not many jobs were available in Appalachia in those days, and if you wanted a good job you usually had to leave home to find it

These stories of a hard working family, struggling sometimes to make ends meet, but never losing their pride. A nostalgic, sometimes humorous look into the past where there were few if any conveniences, lots of hard work, and people had to make their own entertainment.

Life was simpler but in many ways, better.
