Return to Sender by Fern Michaels

Return to Sender by Fern Michaels. Innocent girl, Lin, from an abusive home gets in the family way. Thrown out on her own, loses chance of college education, has a son all alone, is a waitress, works hard, does well and all through the years tries to connect with the baby’s father. Her letters come back, “Return to Sender.” In the mean time the father is extremely wealthy, tied to a  woman who tricked him into marriage, behaves deplorably at work, at home and out on the town, and has a terminal illness. Will, the son, attends college in N.Y.C. where his father gives the welcome speech to the new students.  Neither know about the other, but it throws Lin into action. She is determined to ruin the father's life as he has refused to acknowledge his child. Then the story gets rolling. 7 out of 10. Fast reading romance novel, light and easy. I can not understand why the author and editor decided to totally repeat pages as Lin tells her “story” to other people. Word for word, page for page, right at the end.  I thought she was going to change the story in the retelling, but no, it was the same line by line. I’ve been reading tougher stuff and this a nice departure, but not a great read.
