"Nobody's Girl" by Virginia Giuffre

Anonymous
I also resisted reading it, but am nearly finished it. I also wanted her to identify the men, but she could not ir risk defamation suits. She had to stipulate in one suit brought against her by a prominent US constitutional lawyer. I think she could talk about Prince Andrew because she brought a civil suit against him and it was public record.

I still do not understand why her father and his friend who repeatedly raped her from age 7 are not being charged.

She also named Bill Richardson.

Just buy the book. I’m sure her kids could use the money.


This is what I will do. I think it's going to be one of those books that you can't forget the details once you read them. As a sx assault survivor, as I think most Gen X women are, I think it's important to honor her and buy to book to say, I believe you."


I hadn't thought of it this way. Of course she's gone now. Breaks my heart. Maybe I'll buy it and not read it. It's a story I don't need to read, unfortunately as there is little in there that I don't already know (as I'm sure is the case for many of us).

I'm about halfway through it. I've had to take breaks because it's so sad. She was let down by almost every single adult when she was a child. Gut wrenching.
