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, Cubanborn Magda Montiel Davis, founder of one of the largest immigration law firms in South Florida, soon found out. The receptionattended by hundreds of other Cuban migrswas videotaped for historical archives. In a secondslong clip, Fidel pecks the traditional protocol kiss on Montiel Daviss 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 clbre.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 nohabloingls mother who lived with the family, her five children, and her Jewish Brooklynborn 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.
