On November 4, 2018, the women in a "football moms'" slumber party in Cumming, Georgia woke up to a traumatizing sight: Their friend, Tamla Horsford, lay dead in the backyard, her body covered in scrapes and bruises. The first autopsy reported that Tamla had fallen from the balcony and broken her neck. The women had been drinking all night, making Tamla's death seem like a case-closed accident.

On November 4, 2018, the women in a "football moms'" slumber party in Cumming, Georgia woke up to a traumatizing sight: Their friend, Tamla Horsford, lay dead in the backyard, her body covered in scrapes and bruises. The first autopsy reported that Tamla had fallen from the balcony and broken her neck. The women had been drinking all night, making Tamla's death seem like a case-closed accident. But the family disagreed and requested an independent autopsy. It's been revealed that not all the details were reported to the public: There weren't only women at the party, there were four men, too. The medical examiner from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, while originally claiming the broken neck was the fatal injury, has now recanted this statement. The lead investigator on the case even referred to himself as "racist cracker bastard murder covering up land." Search for the Truth brings to light all the disturbing statements of the partygoers, Tamla's family, and her friends, and the terrifying storm of racism and miscalculations (purposeful or accidental) that led to Tamla's death. Written by Michelle Graves, a close friend of Tamla, and filled with alarming new details, this is a story of what happens when a black woman, a loving wife, mother of five, and true friend, falls victim to the racism of South-and how this has let a killer get away with taking a life.
Autorenporträt
Though born in Miami, Florida, in the 1970s, Michelle Graves and her mother and stepfather moved to Roswell, Georgia, in 1984. It was there in the Peach State that Michelle found a home; for thirty-seven years, she moved between cities like Loganville, Roswell, and Cumming. Intelligent and hardworking, she graduated from Georgia Southern University with a B.S. in Therapeutic Recreation and a place on the Dean's List, as well as the Strive for Pi award for academics in her sorority AOPi. She worked for the Emory University Hospital System for twenty-four years upon graduation.Michelle befriended Tamla Horsford while living in Cumming, and the two women became like peas in a pod. They raised their children, Michelle's three and Tamla's five, together. With Tamla's death in 2018 and the corruption and racism it revealed in the police force of Forsyth County, Michelle decided to move to Freeport, Florida. An advocate for justice for Tamla's death, Michelle has authored this book to shed more light on the "accidental" status of her death.
