The posthumous memoir of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, is set to be published this autumn.
“Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” will be released on October 21, according to the publisher Alfred A Knopf. Giuffre had been working on the book with award-winning author and journalist Amy Wallace before her death in April.
Giuffre’s memoir contains intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their associates, including Prince Andrew.
The book sheds light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders. Giuffre had completed the manuscript before her death and had expressed her heartfelt wish for the memoir to be released, regardless of her circumstances.
In an email to Wallace 25 days before her death, Giuffre wrote, “the content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders. It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.”
She further emphasized her desire for the book’s publication, stating, “In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that Nobody’s Girl is still released. I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices.”
Knopf editor-in-chief Jordan Pavlin described “Nobody’s Girl” as a “raw and shocking” journey and “the story of a fierce spirit struggling to break free”.
The publisher confirmed that Giuffre made no allegations of abuse against Donald Trump, who continues to face questions about his connection to Epstein.
