The unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who dared to take on 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 pages 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.

I“Nobody’s Girl” is a heartbreaking, well-written, believable memoir of Virginia Guiffre’s trauma from Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse. This important book is uncomfortable to read, but an important, insightful document featuring the power and damage of sex-trafficking and psychological manipulation. Hopefully, this thought-provoking book will be read by many to help people understand how common sexual abuse is in our society and how to find ways to provide more support to the victims.
This book, at this time, may finally be the tipping point we need to turn towards the future of a collective recovery of our souls. It is time to rip the bandage off and expose the dark side of humanity that has held women, children and the powerless victims of a sick Narcissistic culture across the globe down. It is time we got our butts off the couch numbing our minds with social media and pick up our swords for truth. Let the Light shine in the Dark places of our society. Virginia’s is just one story that billions of others have experienced in ALL cultures, in ALL socioeconomic settings, in ALL religions and anywhere where the power of one or a group dominates over the sovereignty of another. For Virginia may she rest in power knowing her life and her story changed the world forever.
This book was really hard to read, it began with her innocence being shattered by someone who should have been her protector. Both of her parents were lousy, if I ever met them I would seriously punch them. Epstein and his ilk were disgusting, vile, repugnant human beings. I'm glad that she was able to get her story out there, I'm happy that she was able to find a short span of happiness with her husband and children. I am very sorry that the demons that seemed to plague her won in the end, and she felt that she had to end her own life. I would definitely recommend this book but be prepared for a lot of heartache for this young woman.
Am not a fast reader but finished this book in about 4 days. Very easy and well-written. Was encouraging to read how Viginia “escaped” and found someone to marry and had 3 kids she loved and was married 22 years after she was free of Epstein. But alas, never really free of the effects of abuse. I had read she was estranged from her husband and that he was physically abusive which was surprising info given her high regard for his support, comfort, and empathy she described in the book. Also upsetting that she killed herself, though she mentioned two prior attempts in the book. But the end was optimistic and hopeful for the future. I have since read that her husband put a retraining order on HER (even with a horrible black eye) preventing her from seeing her children, the oldest being 18. Her children were her genuine joy and reason for living……so that may have put her over the edge. Her ghostwriter said she loved Virginia and she cam across worthy of love in her memoir. I do wish she had identified “the prime minister” and the three billionaires described in the book…feared for retaliation toward her children. That’s how much she prioritized them.
A very sad book to read and horrifying. The fact that she was sexually abused her whole life and still managed to be a decent human being is a miracle. The book is easy to read, draws you in right away and will tear your heart out. No one should be able to get away with trafficking children and abusing them, no matter how rich. The total lack of caring or compassion shown by Epstein and Maxwell is appalling. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
