Ganado Red: A Novella and Stories, Susan Lowell, 1988, United States, SHORT STORIES

"...With each owner, the story rests, collects itself, looks about to examine its surroundings, the characters, and the effect of the brilliant blood-red rug upon the people around it. It is the last owner who, at the turning point in her life, discovers the red thread that runs through the black border: "the spirit line...Every Navajo design is supposed to be imperfect, with an opening so the spirits won't be trapped. Sometimes it's called the weaver's pathway—on to another rug. A better one, maybe."..."
