The Power of Half by Kevin Salwen and Hannah Salwen.
The teen of a wealthy family has an epiphany after seeing a homeless man and a Mercedes. Said epiphany leads the family on a journey wherein they sell their $2million house and "down-size" to one half the size. The extra proceeds from the house sale ($800K) are used to help alleviate hunger in Ghana.
Despite this book being precisely what it says it is, I was somewhat disappointed that there was no real guide to doing this on a smaller scale. But it never pretends to be a how-to book, it is a memoir of one family's journey.
I admire the way the authors managed to tell their story without sounding preachy or sanctimonious.
4 stars.
