Virginia Giuffre, a high-profile victim of Jeffrey Epstein, will have her memoir published posthumously in October, publishing house Alfred A. Knopf announced Sunday.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, completed the book before she died in Australia at age 41.
Titled Nobody’s Girl, Guiffre gave permission weeks before she died for the book to be released.
She claimed that Epstein and his former aide, Ghislaine Maxwell, trafficked her at the age of 17 to Prince Andrew, allegations the royal denies.
Giuffre sued Prince Andrew in 2021, accusing him of forcing her to have sex at the London home of Maxwell.

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

Knopf / APGiuffre was hospitalized after a bus accident on March 24 and sent the email on April 1, Knopf said. She died on April 25.
She revealed she’d been involved in a crash on Instagram, saying she had gone into kidney failure and that doctors had given her four days to live.
“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time,” she wrote.
