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.
Customer Reviews
Bravest of the Brave
Excellent read-Sarah you father would be so proud of you and Jack-honored to have read your truth…
Eye-Opening and Riviting
A Time for Truth is just that. Sarah is telling the truth of her life with a mentally and physically abusive and manipulative step-mother. The atrocities Jason Corbett’s children endured under the hands of their step-mother are horrid. In this case, I am deeply ashamed of our justice system. Justice was not served. This is a very well-written book that outlines the life of Sarah and Jack after their soon to be step mother enters their world and destroys it.
