520    "In 2012 Kate Ranta and her father used their combined 
       strength to brace themselves against the front door of her
       home, as her estranged husband, an Air Force Major, tried 
       to force his way inside. For years he had been verbally 
       and emotionally abusive, but never caused physical harm. 
       Until the unthinkable happened. In a rage he fired bullets
       through the door from a 9mm Beretta, shooting Kate and her
       father. Their 4-year-old son stood paralyzed as he 
       witnessed the horrific event. Reading like a real-life 
       horror-thriller, Killing Kate details episodes of her 
       husband's deranged mind games and twisted actions which 
       threaten her sanity and safety. It serves as a cautionary 
       flag critical of the ways the police and legal system 
       failed to protect her--including the court's denial of 
       three restraining order requests before the shooting. And,
       it serves as a rallying cry for women to come together, 
       support each other in knowing the danger signs, exit 
       potentially violent and abusive relationships, and avoid 
       entering into them in the first place. Kate's story and 
       book are essential reading in the fight against domestic 
       and gun violence." --|cPage 4 of cover.
