Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, which details her life as a victim and accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking network, is set to be published posthumously following her sudden death. The book, titled Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, was completed just weeks before Giuffre died in April at the age of 41.
According to her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Giuffre made a “heartfelt wish” in a final email to journalist Amy Wallace for the book to be released “regardless of her circumstances.” Giuffre believed the memoir was “crucial” to “shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders.” The 400-page book is scheduled to be available on October 21.

In the weeks leading up to her death, Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, told The Times that she was “physically broken down” and struggling emotionally. The distress was compounded by a judge’s order that had prohibited her from contacting her children for six months. Giuffre also wrote a poignant letter to her children, shared by her family, which included the line: “Every day that I don’t see your faces has a little less light. The world is dimmer w/o you in it.”
The memoir is reported to provide an unsparing account of her experiences with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and even UK royal Prince Andrew, whom she sued for sexual assault in 2021 before reaching an out-of-court settlement. The book is set to be Giuffre’s final statement in her lifelong fight for justice and a legacy for other survivors of sexual abuse.
