Summary: <p>EDWIDGE DANTICAT: "CLAIRE OF THE SEA LIGHT" (REBROADCAST): Haiti typically makes international headlines for stories about natural disasters, disease and poverty, but Haitian-born writer Edwidge Danticat continually challenges her audience to take a closer look. In her latest novel, "Claire of the Sea Light," she leads readers through several interconnected stories of individuals in one Haitian community. The book explores the strength of familial bonds, the challenges of raising a child and the weight of death through their tales. Danticat joins Kojo to talk about her first work of fiction since the 2010 earthquake. (52 min.)</p>
