Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sarah is an award-winning bereaved children and victims' rights campaigner and one of the youngest authors in Irish history. Born in Ireland, her mother died tragically when she was twelve weeks old and later, when Sarah was four, her family moved to the US when her father remarried.

Sarah and her older brother Jack were left orphaned when their father, Jason Corbett, was killed by their stepmother, Molly Martens, and her father, Tom Martens, in August 2015. Sarah and Jack then returned to Ireland to be raised by Jason's sister, Tracey, and her husband, Dave. This tragic loss instilled in Sarah a burning desire to campaign for other bereaved children and for victims' rights and to help others impacted by violent crime, which she has actively done in the US and Ireland in the years since.

At just 13 years old, Sarah wrote an illustrated book, Noodle Loses Dad, to help children cope with bereavement and loss. Her book was later adopted by children's rights groups, professionals, counselling services, and schools as a valuable teaching aid. For her work, Sarah received a special National Garda Síochána award and a Limerick Young Person tribute.

A native of Limerick, now living in County Clare, Sarah is also an accomplished singer, actor, and dancer. A qualified swim teacher and lifeguard, she loves to snorkel surf, and sea swim.
