This Side of Home, a young adult novel by Renée Watson, explores the lives of identical twin sisters facing their senior year in the rapidly changing north Portland neighborhood of their youth. As they watch their best friend move away, her childhood home transformed and sold to make way for the continuing gentrification, the twins find themselves considering what it means to be young, black women in a part of the city that no longer has room for them. Along the way, they must make life-altering decisions about their relationships and their paths forward.
