A brief summary: A little child living in an apartment complex chooses to grow some lima beans on an empty lot to demonstrate to her deceased father that she is capable of hard work and patience. It creates a ripple effect throughout the building, causing others to reflect on their own problems and how a little girl's example of constructing a beautiful garden and cooperating may make a difference in their circumstances.

We are introduced to Kim, a young woman who lives in Cleveland in an apartment complex. She is staring at her father's portrait, unsure if he can see or remember her. He died eight months prior to her birth. Her father was a farmer in Vietnam, and she chooses to plant some lime beans on an empty lot to demonstrate her patience and determination to her father.
