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

'This book is a must-read' Irish Independent

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

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

In A Time for Truth, Sarah reveals the startling truth of life behind closed doors in her family's home, controlled by Molly - the only mother she had ever known. And Sarah describes the traumatic aftermath as she and her brother Jack fought for justice for their father from the safety of their loving new home with Jason's family in Ireland.

A Time for Truth is a unique testimony of devastation, survival and hope, against the odds.
About Sarah Corbett Lynch
Sarah is an award-winning bereaved children and victims' rights campaigner and one of the youngest authors in Irish history. Born in Ireland, her mother died tragically when she was twelve weeks old and later, when Sarah was four, her family moved to the US when her father remarried. Sarah and her older brother Jack were left orphaned when their father, Jason Corbett, was killed by their stepmother, Molly Martens, and her father, Tom Martens, in August 2015. Sarah and Jack then returned to Ireland to be raised by Jason's sister, Tracey, and her husband, Dave. This tragic loss instilled in Sarah a burning desire to campaign for other bereaved children and for victims' rights and to help others impacted by violent crime, which she has actively done in the US and Ireland in the years since. At just 13 years old, Sarah wrote an illustrated book, Noodle Loses Dad, to help children cope with bereavement and loss. Her book was later adopted by children's rights groups, professionals, counselling services, and schools as a valuable teaching aid. For her work, Sarah received a special National Garda Síochána award and a Limerick Young Person tribute. A native of Limerick, now living in County Clare, Sarah is also an accomplished singer, actor, and dancer. A qualified swim teacher and lifeguard, she loves to snorkel surf, and sea swim.
