The Power of Half by Kevin Salwen and Hannah Salwen

Hannah was 14 when, riding in the car with her father, she saw a homeless man on one side of the road and a man in a Mercedes next to them. Struck by this discrepancy, Hannah begins a conversation with her family about her desire to do something, something that would really make a difference. As a family, the Salwens decide to sell their large house, and donate half the money to charity, using the other half to purchase a new place to live. This begins their journey to stop taking and start giving which takes them all the way to Ghana.
