In her new book, 18-year-old Sarah Corbett Lynch recounts the trauma of losing her father to violence at the hands of her stepmother, Molly Martens, when she was just eight years old. Now based in Kilkee, Co Clare, Sarah finds solace and healing by joining a local diving club, which offers her an escape from her past. Her experiences highlight both the quest for justice and her personal journey toward redemption amidst the chaos of her childhood memories.
At the age of eight, Sarah Corbett Lynch's father Jason was beaten to death at their home while she slept.
The teenager now based in Kilkee, Co Clare, joining the local diving club has provided some welcome calm.
The first time I went under, it was just silent. Like being on an alien planet. You just leave your worries behind you.
It was a new escape for me when I learned how to do it. The only thing I could control.
