A posthumous and “unsparing” memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, Virginia Giuffre, will be published this autumn, publishing house Alfred A Knopf said on Sunday.

Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice is scheduled for release on October 21, the publisher confirmed to Associated Press.

Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at age 41, had been working on Nobody’s Girl with author-journalist Amy Wallace and had completed the manuscript for the 400-page book, according to Knopf.

The publisher’s statement includes an email from Giuffre to Wallace a few weeks before her death, saying that it was her “heartfelt wish” that the memoir be released “regardless” of her circumstances.

“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.”
