A Time for Truth - Sarah Corbett Lynch - Bog

Bag om A Time for Truth

'I was 12 weeks old when my mother, Mags, died. I was eight years old when my father was killed by Molly and Thomas Martens. The Martens made me an orphan. They took away my father, my only constant, the only loving parent I had.' From the Victim Impact Statement of Sarah Corbett Lynch, given in North Carolina Superior Court in 2023On 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 as she sat in courtrooms from the ages of nine to seventeen during her family's gruelling 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. Using entries from the diary she has kept since she was eight, Sarah also writes about her journey of grief and recovery from trauma, as she and Jack were welcomed into the safe, loving home of her aunt Tracey, her father's sister, in Ireland. And she looks to the future and her plans to study criminal justice, so she can change the world for the better. Raw, powerful and inspirational, My Truth is an unforgettable story of heartbreak and loss, but also of strength, love and courage as this remarkable young woman has survived, healed and thrived - against the odds.
