‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ Daily Mail

** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 **

The book that's changing the world. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice.
Now with a new afterword by Virginia's collaborator, Amy Wallace.

In April 2025, Virginia Roberts Giuffre took her own life. Known as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim, she left behind a memoir and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. An unsparing and definitive account of her time trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and her subsequent daring escape, Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.

An astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to fight for a safer, fairer world for others—the book is testament to her bravery in holding her abusers to account. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.
