Amber Portwood is now a free woman after spending 17 months behind bars. Not surprisingly, that freedom comes as a sweet relief to the mother of one. The first thing she did after her release from prison Monday was reunite with her four-year-old daughter, Leah, with whom she became famous on Teen Mom . For both girls, it was a long-awaited and joyful moment … Amber Portwood was famously sentenced to five years in an Indiana prison for violating probation in her drug possession case in the middle of last year. She was released years ahead of schedule for good behavior and time served. Step one after getting out? Hit up a burger joint called Frisch’s Big Boy for some real food. Step two?
