Nobody's Girl er Virginia Roberts Giuffres personlige og medrivende fortælling om sit liv og ikke mindst om de mange år med overgreb, der begyndte da hun var 7 og fortsatte gennem teenageårene, hvor hun blev misbrugt af Jeffrey Epstein og Ghislaine Maxwell og kredsen omkring dem, indtil hun som 19-årig slap ud af deres greb.
