Familiar, funny, and full of heart, this personal narrative provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the world of the mail jumpers from the girl who did it first. It draws back the curtain on the US Mail Boat, Lake Geneva’s history, and life in its inner circle, as Kanelos remembers becoming the first girl to break a sixty-year tradition by jumping the US Mail.

Elaine Kanelos was featured on the cover of the Wall Street Journal and newspapers worldwide as the first girl to “jump the mail.” She now splits her time between Vail, Colorado and Santa Monica, California.
