In fact, she's had her fill of Native men in general and has been trying to distance herself from her culture, but she can't deny that Clay is extremely attractive. Unfortunately, she's a bit stand-offish, so convincing her to go out with him proves a major challenge for Clay.Īfter a teenage romance gone bad, Lilly Yazhi has avoided Navajo men like the plague.
