A posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre, one of the most well-known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, is set for release in October this year, her publisher has announced.

Giuffre had been collaborating with award-winning journalist and author Amy Wallace on the memoir titled Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, prior to her death earlier this year.

According to the Associated Press, the 400-page book will be published on 21 October by Alfred A. Knopf as the memoir’s publisher.

MEMOIR CHRONICLES SEXUAL ABUSE BY PRINCE ANDREW

Giuffre, who previously accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, completed the manuscript before taking her own life in April. Prince Andrew has however denied claims of sexual abuse as claimed by Giuiffre. In 2022, she and Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement after she filed a lawsuit against him for sexual assault.

Knopf released a statement that included an email Giuffre sent to Wallace 25 days before her death. In it, she expressed a strong desire for the book to be published no matter what.

“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,” the email reads. “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 been hospitalised following a serious accident on 24 March. She sent the email on 1 April and died on 25 April at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

“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,” she wrote to Wallace.

Giuffre’s co-author on her memoir, Wallace, is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, among other publications.
