Yona's fourth novel, A Wedding in Great Neck, was described as, "A confection that is not only a page-turner but a poignant view of family life..." by Adriana Trigiani and Booklist added, "McDonough has assembled a touching, airy novel that manages to meld the concerns of family members spanning four generations into a delightfully well-written story...With an authorial voice that switches deftly between impulsive teen-speak and a stately matriarch's flashbacks, McDonough's skill is to be commended. A tender, clever story with emotional heft." A Wedding in Great Neck will soon appear in Norway.

Yona is also an award-winning children's book author with twenty-two books to her credit and has been the Fiction Editor at Lilith Magazine for over a dozen years. She lives with her husband, two children and small yappy dogs in Brooklyn, New York.
