#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.

What the critics say

“It will take years to unfurl the tentacles Epstein wrapped around finance, law, media and politics. But Nobody’s Girl floats free, self-assured and self-contained—a true American tragedy. The devastation is in the details.”
—Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review

“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. . . . A deft [and] smart book. . . . A clear-eyed and necessary account. . . . Important [and] courageous.”
—Emma Brockes, The Guardian

“Virginia Giuffre and Amy Wallace did not write Nobody’s Girl so that we would mourn her. They wrote it so we would read it. So that things would change. This memoir does what the greatest acts of witness do. They do not close a story, they open it outward—into all of the other stories that were never told, all the voices that were silenced before they found a page.”
—Sarah Wynn-Williams, author of Careless People and co-winner of the British Book Award for Freedom to Publish

Nobody’s Girl feels like an act of defiance not just against those who terrorized her for so long but also those who, over the years, queried her version of events. . . . Giuffre doesn’t deserve our scrutiny so much as our admiration.”
The Telegraph (UK)

“By retelling the story from her own perspective, [Giuffre] cuts through the salacious details that became the stuff of tabloid headlines. . . and shows the reader the stark truth of who she was. . . . It is a personal triumph that she chose to speak up.”
The Observer (UK)

“Giuffre’s narrative conclusively eliminates all but the most unflattering explanations for Andrew’s association with Epstein. The book benefits greatly from Giuffre’s collaborator, the highly regarded American magazine journalist Amy Wallace. Wallace never overwhelms Giuffre’s voice, but her presence is clear in the journalistic rigor that underlies the text.”
The Times (UK)

It's very sad that Virginia endured so much and took her own life once she was 'free'. I guess she was never truly free from the damage done. Everyone should read this story and then fight to hold those responsible and active participants in the abuse of these young girls accountable. It's a shocking eye opener.

My only complaint of the audiobook is the narrator. I found her voice to be hard to listen to. It felt forced, unnatural and childish. I wanted to take in every word, but also wanted it to end so I didn't have to listen to her anymore.

Shocking Story, Annoying Narrator

Her parents were to blame for this poor girls life. She didn’t stand a chance. In the end all her fight was gone. Living with her pain both physically and emotionally got the best of her. May her soul now RIP.
Excellent account of what happened during her Virginia’s life and what she went through and fought for. Couldn’t put this book down.

I knew some details of her story as it related to Epstein. I was shocked by how much this woman has endured over her short life. It is a difficult listen but one that is necessary in understanding the effects of such horrible abuse.

A heart wrenching story

It was incredibly sad and painful to go through this memoir. But it is also incredibly important to do so. To face the reality of abuse and its devastating consequences.

My heart breaks for Virginia and the fact that she didn’t make it. May this book act as a warning and a beacon.
