Bridget Chamber-as, a special education professional and daughter of long-serving former Otesaga Hotel General Manager Frank Maloney, published a children’s book inspired by her childhood experiences on Tuesday, September 5. “Bridget Finds a Home,” illustrated by Ethan Roffler, tells the story of a major upheaval in Chamberas’ childhood.

“When I was four, my family moved to southern Indiana because my father had taken a job as GM of a large resort hotel,” Chamberas said. “It was a 500-room hotel and a ton of responsibility, and we lived in the hotel itself. We were there for about eight years.”
