Nobody‘s Gril is a memoir to Virginia Guiffre. She is a survivour of sex trafficing by the Jeffrey Epstein system. The book talks about her history and the abuse she experienced in her life.

I began reading the book because i wanted insight of how it is as a victim and the system she suffered from.

I am currently about a fith through the book and sometimes it is hard to continue. The immense suffering and pain she went through her whole life makes me incredebly sad and at the same time disgusted and angry by the actions of abusers to the point where i regularly have to pause reading and process what i have read.

I am relatively new to reading books and i‘m thinking if this something that happens to you people as well?

Have you read or started reading the book? How are you doing/processing it?

Her courage and energy to fight against what she suffered is what also motivates me to read her book. What made me write this post is a section where she describes pointing out to her whole family that her father sexually abused her as a child, and no one did a fucking thing, even after her dad beating her to the point where her lips were split open.

It's so hard to read and actually absorb what is written.

Right? And all the UTIs etc which are a classic sign something is wrong and she wasn’t taken to the doctor, just to the group home…
