Since 2014, Amber has been riding the success of her memoir Never Too Late, which tells of her past hardships and how she coped with her harsh circumstances to become a better person.

Amber's book on 'hardship, hope and addiction' was written while she was serving a five-year jail sentence in 2012 at Indiana's Rockville Correctional Facility.

Stemming from drug related charges, she served 17 months behind bars and was released early in 2013, when she later met her fiance Baier.
