Dubray Biography of the Year 2025 Winner
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.
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. 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.
