Nobody's Girl

Virginia Roberts Giuffre writes about her life from childhood, starting with the sexual abuse she endured as a girl. She then recounts how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her, and how she got away from them at nineteen.

The second part of the book covers the aftermath. She rebuilds her life, speaks out at a time when few people listen, and pushes a legal and public campaign that lasts for years. Its aim is to make her abusers, and those who surrounded them, answer for what they did.

Advocacy for other survivors runs through the pages as well. The book is a memoir told in the first person, written with Amy Wallace in the years before Giuffre died in April 2025. Knopf published it in October 2025.

The material is frank and often distressing, and readers should expect detailed accounts of abuse and trafficking. The book reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list and won Book of the Year at the 2026 British Book Awards. Its question is whether one survivor can be heard when the powerful would rather she were not.
