 BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR 2025 - AN POST IRISH BOOK AWARDS

A shocking true story of heartbreak and survival by Sarah Corbett Lynch, daughter of Jason Corbett - an Irish Times Number 1 bestseller and the subject of NETFLIX documentary A DEADLY AMERICAN MARRIAGE.

'Honest and compelling' Sunday Independent
'Powerful, heartbreaking' Irish Times
'An enthralling read' Irish Daily Mail

'A powerful and poignant memoir that transforms loss into a legacy of love and hope' Katriona O'Sullivan, bestselling author of Poor

At approximately 3.15 a.m. on 2 August 2015, eight-year-old Irish girl Sarah Corbett Lynch was lifted from her bed by a Davidson County police officer and carried downstairs, shielded from the chaos that had broken out around her.

Hours passed before Sarah learned that her beloved father Jason was dead. And the people who killed him were Sarah's stepmother Molly Martens and her father Tom.

Now Sarah tells her story for the first time and reveals the startling truth of life behind closed doors in her family's suburban North Carolina home.

Sarah recalls the weeks and months leading up to that night in August, and the use of manipulation and gaslighting by Molly Martens - the only mother she had ever known. She describes the traumatic years after her father's death as she and her brother Jack fought for justice from the safety of their new loving home in Limerick, Ireland, with Jason's family.

A Time for Truth is a unique testimony of devastation, survival and hope, against the odds.©2025 Sarah Corbett-Lynch Grief & Loss Murder Personal Development Relationships True Crime Emotionally Gripping Inspiring Thought-Provoking Heartfelt

Critic reviews

'A powerful and poignant memoir that transforms loss into a legacy of love and hope'
Sarah Corbett Lynch's writing of this honest and compelling book has no hysteria. It sets out events in forensic detail, including the damage to herself and her father's reputation
A Time for Truth is a powerful, heartbreaking and justifiably angry read from a young woman whose life has been irreparably damaged
This is an enthralling read
A gripping story of lives shattered as the result of a brutal and sadistic murder, and the slow job of rebuilding hope
[Sarah's] gut-wrenching memoir allows her to finally tell her story of trauma and survival for the first time, as well as honour her dad's memory and her family's fight for justice
Strength of the human spirit ... This book is a must-read
All stars

All my prayer's are for you and your family and off course your dad rip . Think we all know they both killed him and should be in jail that tom guy comes off as so smug. Couldent believe they even try too say he had something to do with his first wife death utter discusting lawyers.

So sad well read young lady🇮🇪

This is a heartbreaking story. Jason was clearly in a vulnerable place and only a pure psychotic individual would ever capitalise on the situation. If Molly had parents who were not also psychotic, they may have warned Jason that this woman is ill before any relationship developed. I am actually angry at the end of this book. Angry at the US justice system, Angry at anyone who sides with the Martens, Angry at the higher power as to why these two young children had to loose both their parents and suffer abuse like they did.

Karma will get you eventually Martens.

Sarah’s story is heartbreaking. Sarah’s delivery of her story is an amazing tribute to her dad, he would be so proud. I was a police officer for 20yrs and I interviewed many child victims. Molly Martens behaviour was destructive, abusive, erratic, unjustified and violent. Sarah’s story leads me to believe it was a pre conceived murder. The degrading behaviour the Corbett family were put through during the trial is shocking and immoral. Sarah you are an inspiration and I am so grateful to have read the truth in this shocking sequence of events. I wish you and Jack every happiness moving forward, you richly deserve it. The Lynch Family are truly amazing. Should Molly Martens ever read this book and these reviews, no high paid lawyers were navigating the story, know for sure that the truth is out.
