A truly heartbreaking account from Sarah Corbett on the murder of her father and a families quest for justice. Beautifully written and moving.

I have followed the story of Jason Corbett’s brutal murder at the hands of his wife and father in law in 2015. A murder for which these two served just 4 years each.
Jason’s murder left his two children Sarah and Jack without their dad, and with close family and friends thousands of miles away in Ireland.
For the first time since his murder, Jason’s story is told from the perspective of his children, who are the only people who witnessed firsthand what life was like living with their Dads killer.
Sarah has written this book to right the wrong done to her Dad. Not just his brutal murder, but the assassination of his character during the trial.
A time for truth is a heartbreaking, yet gripping read, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in coercive, abusive, and manipulating behaviour, and how the justice system in the US can get it so wrong. Well done Sarah Corbett/ Lynch for telling your dads truth.

You feel her pain but you also understand what she went through even more. The unerring of what coercive control is like especially if you haven't experienced it before. It is a story of love and family at its core.

Followed this case from the start, nothing about it felt right. Was so delighted that jack and Sarah were returned to where they could be nurtured and cherished with their parents’ families. I read Tracey’s book and Sarah’s was every bit as good. A different perspective but her truth is out there and anyone who stood by the killer Martens is every bit as bad as they are. Well done, Sarah, a star shining brightly all thanks to the lynch and extended families.
Few can forget the murder of Irishman Jason Corbett in his North Carolina home. Nor can we forget the aftermath involving his killers, Molly Martens and her father, Tom, who went to great lengths to evade justice, even portraying Corbett as a monster.
His daughter, Sarah, was just eight years old at the time. Her life has been far from easy, though she eventually found stability with her father’s family in Limerick. Since the age of 13, she has tirelessly advocated for children orphaned by violent crime. Now, still a young woman, she has been recognized with both a Garda Síochána award and a Limerick Young Person tribute for her work in victims’ rights.
Here, she shares her story—a sobering account of loss and resilience. She believes in rising above adversity and continues to fight for victims and their families. A gripping narrative of lives shattered by a brutal and senseless murder, and the long journey toward rebuilding hope.
