Stacey Freeman had no idea what she was in for when she looked inside her husband’s suitcase, but what she found would change the course of her life and her children’s forever. Set in Short Hills, New Jersey, I Bought My Husband’s Mistress Lingerie tells the relatable story of a woman once happily married to her high school sweetheart who had watched her marriage slowly deteriorate without seeing the reality around her. But the moment she did and realized divorce and full physical custody of her three young children were imminent, she had no choice but to re-evaluate her life, her goals, and her definition of success.

Taking listeners around the world and back in time for an emotional ride through her childhood and adolescence, marriage, separation and divorce, navigation of bicontinental co-parenting, introduction to mid-life dating, and return to work, Stacey Freeman invites listeners to share in her hits and misses in this no-holds-barred portrayal of what happened in the aftermath of discovering the person she loved and trusted most had betrayed her. Oscillating between periods of despair and laughter and often landing somewhere in between, Stacey Freeman’s memoir in essays serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and how sometimes gifts can come from the most unexpected people and places.
