The Last Straw has been a perennial Christmas favorite for more than 25 years. It has appeared three times in Good Housekeeping Magazine, has been anthologized in numerous collections of Christmas classics, including twice in Chicken Soup for the Soul, and was published as a stand-alone book by Chariot Publishing in 1993. It was chosen that year by the National Federation of Press Women as "Best Inspirational Book” and in 1994 as “Best Short Story.”

A beautiful, newly published edition is currently available in both hardcover and booklet form.
