I Donated His Golf Clubs To A Mime Troupe

For nineteen years, Joanna Greene has made a career out of appraising the estates of dead men. But it’s her living husband who is about to get liquidated.

Joanna’s garage is stuffed with $80,000 worth of pristine, abandoned hobbies. There’s the carbon-fiber bicycle ridden twice. The four-thousand-dollar Italian espresso machine. The tour-grade, custom-fitted golf clubs. Her husband, Davy, is always on the verge of becoming someone else, leaving Joanna no room to even park her own car.

But when she unearths a receipt for Davy's romantic Sedona spa getaway with a wellness influencer, Joanna doesn't just get mad. She gets a CPA.

Armed with the tax code and the legal right to dispose of jointly held marital property, Joanna begins quietly donating Davy’s precious, unused gear to highly specific 501(c)(3) charities. The espresso machine goes to a chaotic teen youth shelter. The bike is cannibalized by a senior citizen knitting circle. And the $10,000 golf clubs? Cheerfully donated to an avant-garde mime troupe to be used as stage props.

As the charitable deductions pile up and Davy’s carefully curated life is dismantled piece by piece—resulting in a viral internet meltdown—Joanna realizes she isn't just clearing out her garage. With the help of a rumpled, fiercely competent forensic accountant, she is finally making room for herself.

I Donated His Golf Clubs to a Mime Troupe is a laugh-out-loud, deeply satisfying comedy for anyone who has ever wanted to reclaim their space, find their joy, and get a spectacular tax write-off in the process.
