A balmy spring night, silence, a call to the police. On the other end of the line, a nine-year-old girl says, "My mom is being killed. By Dad." What reads like the beginning of a crime novel is a life-threatening reality for Henriette Wunderlich in the early hours of April 10, 2019. Her ex-partner M. treacherously attempts to take her life. This is not an isolated case. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), 117 women were victims of homicide by their (ex-)partner in 2019. Henriette Wunderlich owes it to her daughter's courage that she is not one of them. Many other women were less fortunate, with no guardian angels and no chance. Based on her personal experiences, Henriette Wunderlich reveals the structure and systematic nature behind such acts of violence.
