About this listen

'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.©2025 Sarah Corbett Lynch (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Job Well Done!

Wow! What an amazing job of telling your story. I live in Davidson County, NC and have followed your dad’s story from the beginning. I just know that your dad is so proud of you and for standing up for him and your family. I wish you well.

A Heart-Wrenching and Eye-Opening Story

Sarah Corbett Lynch’s story is both heartbreaking and deeply inspiring. Listening to her journey, told with raw honesty and strength, was an emotional experience that stayed with me long after I finished the book. Her resilience in the face of unimaginable loss and betrayal is truly remarkable.

Beyond her personal struggle, the book also highlights the devastating ways the judicial system failed her, her brother, and her father—allowing manipulation and power to overshadow justice. The influence of those willing to distort the truth adds another chilling layer to the story.

The narration brings her words to life in a way that makes you feel every moment of fear, confusion, and, ultimately, hope. It’s a powerful reminder of a child’s need for safety and the heartbreaking consequences of losing it.

This is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates stories of survival, courage, and the unsettling reality of how power can shape justice. Highly recommend!

Incredible

As a lifeguard at meadowlands in 2014 , I watched certain behaviors that summer unfold that I now look back on after hearing Sarah’s book and understand what was really happening. She depicted Molly and her behaviors perfectly. I was able to see everything she described vividly through her writings.
