'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.
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.
