“No Man is An Island and Other Short Stories” by Sonya C. Dodd is a delightful collection of short stories that will take you an emotional and intellectual journey into yourself, your life, and the human condition.Sonya C. Dodd is able to write stories in different genres, on a wide variety of topics, and she does it very well.  The issues she tackles in her stories range from the hardships and miracles of pregnancy  to the bittersweet taste of a forbidden romance to family relationships to journeys into history to clever twists on old classics (“Ophelia” is one of my favorites!).Sonya C. Dodd also writes stories that feel like “The Twilight Zone” episodes, and my two favorites of that genre are “Alone” and “Giant Sentinels.” Whether Ms. Dodd writes a realistic story or clearly a fantasy, her characters are always real, their problems believable, and plots – engaging and exciting. A great collection!
