Working mom has seen it all, raising a family in Orange Beach - al.com

Working mom has seen it all, raising a family in Orange Beach - al.com: "Growing up in Chickasaw with a single mother, Linda Moore said she learned it is possible for women to have it all, but it takes a lot of work.

'My father died when I was 4 years old of cancer, and my mother was left as a single, working mom at a time when that was really frowned upon,' Moore said. 'I learned from her that it's OK to be a working mom, that you can still find the time to spend with your kids, but it was hard for her.'

So after graduating from Vigor High School, Moore decided to relocate. She moved to Orange Beach in 1981, at a time when the small fishing village had very little development."
