The extraordinarily powerful and unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who stood up and spoke out about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now.
In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.
Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The narrative of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.
Nobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.

Critic reviews
Nobody’s Girl is both devastating and uplifting. It tells the story of how easily a life can be snapped in half by powerful abusers - and the enormous pain it takes to rebuild a broken human soul . But it’s also a tale of justice , what can be achieved when a woman refuses to be silenced, refuses to be blamed. And is willing to call out the complicity of evil around us.
Virginia’s voice soars throughout this memoir - fearless and frank - angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.
It is so sad what has happened to her
And all of these so called wealthy people who have abused her need to be brought to justice and stop the lies!! they need to ask themselves ..... would you like this to be done to your granddaughter or daughter??
It's because of you that Virginia's children do not have a mother now.
Very moving story but the Truth

The fact that the rich and powerful still manage to cover up their crimes sickens me and the exploitation continues...!

Having read it, it is horrifying that this kind of child abuse and trafficking goes on, and that people get away with it.
These girls lives are destroyed by these evil monsters who treat them as dolls to be cast away once damaged.
I am very glad that the journalist wrote the introduction for us to understand more about what happened once the book was finished and what lead to her suicide.
It is incomprehensible that her husband should also abuse her after everythingshe had been through. But as they say, kids who are abused as children often end up in abusive relationships.
I believe that this book should be read by everyone to understand the truth.
