Edwidge Danticat es una autora muy reconocida, nacida en Port-au-Prince, Haití, el 19 de enero de 1969. A los dos años, su padre, André, emigró a Nueva York, seguido por su madre, Rose, dos años después. Danticat y su hermano menor, Eliab, fueron dejados al cuidado de su tía y tío en Haití. Su educación inicial se llevó a cabo en francés, pero en casa, hablaba criollo haitiano, una dualidad cultural que más tarde influiría en su escritura.
A los doce años, Danticat se mudó a los Estados Unidos, una experiencia que significó una gran influencia en su vida y obra. Es autora de varios libros notables, incluyendo "Breath, Eyes, Memory", seleccionado para el Club de Libros de Oprah, "Krik? Krak!", finalista del Premio Nacional del Libro, y "The Farming of Bones", ganador del Premio American Book. Danticat también ha demostrado sus habilidades como editora al supervisar "The Butterfly's Way: Voices from the Haitian Dyaspora in the United States" y "The Beacon Best of 2000: Great Writing by Men and Women of All Colors and Cultures".
El viaje educativo de Danticat en los Estados Unidos estuvo marcado por logros significativos. Se graduó en Literatura Francesa en Barnard College, donde recibió el premio Woman of Achievement Award en 1995. Luego continuó sus estudios en Brown University, obteniendo un MFA. Actualmente, reside en Miami con su esposo e hijas, continuando su aporte al mundo literario con su perspectiva e historia únicas.
