The Madonna of the Tubs

When a wealthy Boston artist escapes to a quiet seaside town in search of inspiration, he finds more than just a picturesque view. In the humble laundress known as “The Madonna of the Tubs,” he discovers a woman of quiet strength and unshakable faith — a living icon of compassion in the midst of poverty and toil. As their worlds collide, questions of class, sacrifice, and true beauty rise to the surface. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps delivers a tender, thought-provoking tale that lingers like salt in the sea breeze.
"The Madonna of the Tubs" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1886.
