A posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, will be published later this year, a publisher has announced.
Called Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre worked with the award-winning author and journalist Amy Wallace on the 400-page book to be released on 21 October.
The memoir’s publisher, Alfred A Knopf, announced Giuffre had completed the manuscript before she died in April this year.
Knopf’s statement on the news includes an email Giuffre wrote to Wallace 25 days before her death, stating that it was her “heartfelt wish” the memoir be released “regardless” of her circumstances.
Giuffre was hospitalised following a serious accident on 24 March 2025, and the publishing house said she sent the email on 1 April 2025. Giuffree died at her property about 80 kilomteres outside of Perth on 25 April 2025.
“In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that Nobody’s Girl is still released. I believe it has the potential to impact many lives and foster necessary discussions about these grave injustices,” the email reads.
“The content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders. It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.”
Giuffre had alleged that in the early 2000s, she’d been caught in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring and exploited by the UK’s Prince Andrew as well as other influential men.
Knopf’s statement says the book contains “intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details about [Giuffre’s] time with Epstein, Maxwell and their many well-known friends, including Prince Andrew, about whom she speaks publicly for the first time since their out-of-court settlement in 2022.”
Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied Giuffre’s accusations, and in 2022, the pair reached an out-of-court settlement after Giuffre sued him for sexual assault.
In July 2025, US president Donald Trump told reporters Epstein had “stolen” Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago- Trump’s private club where she worked.
Giuffre alleged she’d been approached and hired as a masseuse for Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who was convicted in late 2021 of sex trafficking for him. Maxwell has denied Giuffre’s allegations.
Knopf spokesperson Todd Doughty told the Associated Press that Giuffre initially agreed to a seven-figure book contract with Penguin Press, however, moved to work with acquired editor Emily Cunningham after she was hired by Knopf as executive editor last year.
The memoir Nobody’s Girl is distinct from Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club, which was referenced in previous court filings and unsealed in 2019.
“Nobody’s Girl was both vigorously fact-checked and legally vetted,” said the Knopf statement.
