#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who dared to take on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
“Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.” —The Guardian
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.

This book is a harrowing testament to the life of a true survivor. The story is told with such brutal honesty that readers not only feel uncomfortable but also find it difficult to comprehend and absorb what they have read. Theoretically, the memoir can be divided into two parts—the first part describes the cruel and brutal world in which she suffered not only at the hands of Epstein but also at the hands of countless other people. In the second part of the book, we join the author as she begins a journey of healing. Virginia R. Giuffre convinces all skeptics, because her descriptions are so consistent and detailed—I don’t think anyone could make this up. She provides photos and other facts to prove the events she survived. Right at the beginning, the author begins to recount her childhood with brutal rationality, describing her very ambivalent relationship with her mother and the first sexual assaults by her own family and friends. She proceeds in a very structured and chronological manner. Again and again, readers are confronted with how young Virginia is when these unspeakable things happen to her. One mourns and feels every emotion with the author, who herself displays a clinical rationality that is simply frightening. What this young woman experienced is something one would not wish on anyone. Incredibly moving, honest, and, precisely because of the difficult subject matter, well worth reading.
