Blind Luck Marty Duckenfield

College study abroad opportunities are commonplace today, but in 1965 they were a rarity. In this personal memoir, the author shares her story of a simpler time when through blind luck she ended up studying at Oxford University for her junior year. This coming-of-age tale is still relevant to students today as it represents the many life-changing impacts of studying and living in another culture. Added to this, the unexpected benefits found in getting to know a variety of people, including her husband to be, and traveling to other countries, adds delightful personal elements to the story.
