What does it mean to be instantly transformed into the most hated
person in your community? After meeting Fidel Castro at a Havana
reception in 1994, Cuban-born Magda Montiel Davis, founder of one
of the largest immigration law firms in South Florida, soon found
out. The reception - attended by hundreds of other Cuban EmigrEs -
was videotaped for historical archives. In a seconds-long clip,
Fidel pecks the traditional protocol kiss on Montiel Davis's cheek
as she thanks him for the social benefits conferred upon the Cuban
people. The video, however, was mysteriously sold to U.S. reporters
and aired incessantly throughout South Florida. Soon the encounter
was an international cause cElEbre. Life as she knew it was over
for Montiel Davis and her family, including a father who worked
with the CIA to topple Fidel, a nohablo-inglEs mother who lived
with the family, her five children, and her Jewish Brooklyn-born
attorney husband. Kissing Fidel shares the sometimes dismal,
sometimes comical realities of an ordinary citizen being thrown
into a world of death threats, mob attacks, and terrorism.
