A moving tale of conscience and temptation, Lolla; or, The Sin of Greediness is a 19th-century moral narrative that explores the spiritual dangers of selfishness and material desire. Written by Lucy Ellen Guernsey, a noted American author of religious fiction, this story follows young Lolla—a girl torn between indulgence and virtue—as she faces the emotional and spiritual consequences of her choices.


Through richly symbolic scenes and intimate character struggles, Guernsey crafts a timeless allegory on the perils of greed and the redemptive power of humility and faith. As Lolla reaches for worldly pleasures—lavish meals, fine things, and self-centered satisfaction—she must ultimately confront the inner void left by these fleeting indulgences.


Ideal for listeners who appreciate historical fiction with a moral foundation, Lolla; or, The Sin of Greediness is both a cautionary fable and a compassionate study of personal growth. With its period charm and enduring message, this audiobook invites reflection on the values that shape a virtuous life.
