The Hill – An Inspiring True Story Movie Coming To Theaters Starting 8/25
I got the honor of a pre-screening for the movie The Hill and it is such a great movie! Often times, when I watch a movie from home, I find myself distracted. While viewing The Hill, I was glued to my screen. It’s a sweet and heartwarming movie and everyone can’t help but root for Ricky to keep on playing through all the hardships. Do you think he actually become a MLB player? You’ll have to watch to find out!
Movie Synopsis
Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and instead, to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. Even so, as a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon with his power to hit.
His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball.
Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER, Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

I don’t know how the story ends, but it seems to show how determination and faith in one’s self can help make a dream come true. If nothing else, you have to try.
