She discovers a kinship with a teenage nethead called Pixel and learns that old women can fly in cyberspace along with the young. Meanwhile, Alices daughter Joy finds out that when it comes to family stories there is always more than one version of the truth. Alice was abandoned in England and sent to New Zealand as a servant, tricked by the authorities into believing that she was an orphan.
