A time for truth

€21.25

On 2 August 2015, Irishman Jason Corbett was killed in his North Carolina home by his American wife Molly Martens and her father Tom. Sarah, Jason’s eight-year-old daughter, and her brother Jack were also in the house that fateful night, asleep upstairs. Now eighteen years old, Sarah Corbett Lynch tells her story for the first time. She shares her earliest memories of her beloved dad and her life with him, Jack and Molly Martens in their home in North Carolina, and gives her account of the events leading up to the night that changed everything. She remembers the aftermath of her father’s death, and how her words were weaponised amidst lies and deception during her family’s gruelling nine year battle for justice – and the devastation they shared when Molly and Tom Martens were released from prison in 2024, after serving just three and a half years.

Description

A shocking true story of heartbreak and survival by Sarah Corbett Lynch, daughter of Jason Corbett – an Irish Times Number 1 bestseller and now 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.
