No More Dodging Bullets: A Memoir about Faith, Love, Lessons, and Growth
A harrowing legal battle and other life challenges are the basis for a story of perseverance, personal growth and beating the odds. After overcoming a heroin addiction in her teenage years and striving to move forward, Amy Herrig faced an entirely different addiction twenty years money.She and her father, Jerry Shults, were thriving as the owners of the Gas Pipe stores in Dallas, Texas, as well as other successful businesses, when a government lawsuit threatened to take everything -- their businesses, their money, and their freedom.
˃˃˃ Accused of crimes she hadn’t committed, Amy spent the next four years fighting to stay out of prison, but that wasn’t all she had to fight along the way.When one life-altering change after another shook up Amy’s world, she gained a new perspective on herself and on what matters most in life.
˃˃˃ From an exhausting and demoralizing situation came a new outlook of gratitude, but also remorse and humility. Although Amy’s actions in the past had not all been illegal, she had let the allure of money guide her decisions rather than using her moral compass; the shocking turn of events that resulted from those decisions led to profound changes and made a lasting impact on Amy’s life.

No More Dodging Bullets
By: Amy Herrig
REVIEW ☆☆☆☆
When it rains it pours. Bad things happen in threes. If it can go wrong, it will. Karma is a witch. You've heard all of these and more. Distilled to the simplest interpretation, the thing to remember is this: bad luck seems to breeds bad luck.
No More Dodging Bullets by Amy Herrig is a memoir of some unfortunate things in her life in quick succession. I won't go into detail because it's a lot of information, but we're talking serious stuff with huge consequences. Some of it was her fault, and some of it was not.
The takeaway is how to reconstruct your life and move forward after the hurricane of misfortune has decimated your existence. Amy explains how she made it through the storms without becoming a bitter resentful person in the end. I appreciate her honesty and forthright attitude toward everything out of her control that happened. Her story is interesting, compelling and insightful, especially if you might have troubles of your own right now. Don't we all have something?
Basically, the overall picture is of a woman with a no quit attitude and tons of determination refusing to just give up and die. She is inspiring and passionate, and the world needs more of this attitude for sure. I recommend checking out this book for yourself!

Amy was raised in a loving family, who allowed her to be herself. Let her make decisions and live life unlike a lot of kids. She had freedoms but she was also taught life lessons and it was completely normal for her to be raised in the Gas Pipe stores. Her parents who were more the hippie, alternative type did well for the business they went into.
Having gotten wrapped up with a bad boyfriend, Amy was no stranger to drugs and addiction at a young age. She thankfully was able to get out and get help with her parents always being there for her. She realized her mistake, and changed her life. Got married, had kids and even though her marriage didn’t work out- they still were very civil and worked well together for the kids benefits.
Her fathers businesses had grown substantially. He had various stores, as well as retail in Alaska and Chile. Things were going great, she had signed on with her father and had made some major but positive changes to the various businesses. Money was flowing in, she had met a new man who was everything she could ask for, the kids were doing well, they had a large house, and all it took was a split second and everything Amy knew was being held by the US Government.
They had come down hard on her and her fathers business. They took everything and froze all assets except for the Chile real estate. What was going on? They had been paying their taxes, everything was on the up and up. They were valid, nothing they did was illegal. They had not been notified of anything they may have done wrong and all of a sudden there were agents at her house, talking to her kids, seizing her belongings, talking to all employees and all bank accounts were frozen – business and personal. Talk about literally feeling as if you have nothing.
Amy and her father hire a team of lawyers for the various different charges the government has listed that they’ve broken or done illegally. They thankfully had lot of friends, family and employees on their side. They had a strong team of lawyers willing to go to bat over everything and Amy and her father spent the next four years fighting to stay out of prison and prove their innocence of the charges they were being accused of.
This was a very interesting read. I always love reading memoirs about others lives and how they have become who they have become or what they have all endured. I am amazed at Amy’s strength having everything ripped from her, and knowing they looked down on her, because of her past run in with drugs previously. But when you have the support system they had, anything can be possible if you believe and trust those who want to help.
Thank you to the Mystery Cozy Review Crew, the author, and Inspired Forever Book Publishing for the free book. It was a very fast paced read and I could not even begin to imagine the terror having this happen.

No More Dodging Bullets by Amy Herrig is a memoir of her interesting life. She grew up in a great family that created and ran a firm called the Gas Pipe in Texas which was a headshop or smoke shop. In her late teens Amy has her own drug troubles including heroin addiction and she struggles with her parents’ divorce. Gradually she gets control of her life including taking good care of her twin children and finding a great second husband. She works in the business with her father as it gradually expands to nine shops. Through her second husband another business of lodges begins. As time goes on Amy and her Dad become very wealthy.
Then in 2014 all their assets were seized by federal law enforcement agencies’ claims of illegal drug activities. Over the next several years there was an extensive fight in the judicial system to prove their innocence and regain their assets. There was both a criminal case and then a civil one as well. The memoir focuses on Amy’s not only dealing with all this but also the changes she makes in her faith, her devotion to wealth, and general life attitudes.
I found it fascinating to read about all of this and to learn how she managed to cope with it all. At times, because I worked with Court Appointed Special Advocates in the juvenile court system for many years, I found myself aware that I was receiving one side of the story. But when I focused on the fact that Amy was writing about her experiences and how she coped, I found it a very compelling book. I also found what she wrote about the injustice and craziness in the federal system very believable. The story she told is not yet finished but information about her is available online. I heartedly recommend this memoir by a very strong woman.

In No More Dodging Bullets: A Memoir about Faith, Love, Lessons, and Growth, Amy Herrig is honest and forthright in the telling of her life story. Herrig shares details about her early childhood and her struggles with drug addiction in her teenage years. A major part of the book focuses on a case involving the Gas Pipe stores owned by the Herrig family. The family business was the focal point of the case that was spearheaded by the federal government and the impetus behind it was the government’s belief the Herrig’s were involved in a synthetic drug distribution conspiracy in Texas. Amy not only shares details about the case that took a few years to resolve and the results of the government’s criminal and civil proceedings against the family-owned business but also talks about what a difference it made in her outlook on how to live her life.
No More Dodging Bullets is not only an eye-opener but also an inspirational story that offers hope and encouragement for readers who are facing difficult challenges in their lives. At the same time that Amy was in the middle of dealing with a life-altering situation in which she had been put in the crosshairs of the federal government, she was also diagnosed with breast cancer, and she openly discusses the physical and emotional journey she went through in her fight against this insidious disease. Amy is upfront about the anxiety and stress she dealt with and how rough it was to stay emotionally healthy while she was going through wholly unforeseen tough and scary times. She shares how her reliance on faith in God, counseling, and the support of family and friends made the difference in being able to survive the painful ordeals in her life.

No More Dodging Bullets by Amy Herrig is, on the surface, a well-written story of the author's life. You'll learn about her happy early years, her tumultuous teens and early twenties, her romances, her children, and her career path. I was fascinated throughout Amy's story, and eagerly anticipated learning what happened next in her life.
Beyond just being an interesting story, however, you'll find a lot more. Amy hasn't had an easy time of things, and I learned a lot by reading about how she coped with various issues. Amy's writing style is direct, and reading it feels like you're sitting down with a new friend, talking about her life. I also appreciated the candid way she shares the less-than-steller decisions she made in the past. Don't think of this story as depressing, though...Amy also shares how she got through the tough times in a way that offers hope to others going through similar (or even totally different) crises.
On a historical note, you'll also learn a lot about the federal Gas Pipe lawsuit. This was major news a few years back, and I didn't know much about it before reading this book. It was interesting to read about it from the defendants' side of the table.
I applaud Ms. Herrig for telling her story, and for the way she has used her past to grow as a person. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a story about overcoming obstacles. I especially recommend it to anyone dealing with issues of their own. Amy's story can inspire you, and give you some ideas for moving ahead in your own life.

The memoir, written by Amy Herrig, is an incredible story. Herrig not only survived a heroin addiction in her teenage years, went on to deal with a government lawsuit regarding their family business, then was thrown another challenge of breast cancer. The perseverance she exhibited in dealing with each of these obstacles in her life was amazing.
I admired the author's courage, honesty, knowledge and ability to always look for the rainbows in her life. Her faith helped pull her through the many obstacles she's faced. Her love and constant concern of her family, co-workers and friends was remarkable.
In my opinion the book was well written, had a lot of good explanations on their business products, and explained in detail the legal battles their family business experienced.
I would recommend this memoir to anyone wanting to read a fascinating true story from a talented writer.

Faith, Love, Lessons, and Growth...
No More Dodging Bullets by Amy Herrig is a powerful and inspirational story about a woman’s triumph over incredible misfortune and adversity. She writes an exceptional survival memoir about Faith, Love, Lessons, and Growth and painted for the reader an all-encompassing human dramatization of love, loss and survival in a very vivid and compelling way. It was a brilliant read that will leave you feeling like a better person for having read it. People write memoirs to fixate, analyze, share, or rethink past events. This book refers to important and significant moments in the authors life.

No More Dodging Bullets is a heart-felt memoir full of raw honesty and self reflection. I was blown away by Herrig’s ability to be so honest with and about herself, along with the fact that she can find the positives buried within her struggles and battles. From her addiction to heroin to her addiction to money, and the decisions made within the throes of those addictions, Herrig never takes it easy on herself, nor sugarcoats the resulting realities. It often felt as though I was having a conversation with her, as opposed to simply reading the words on the page; that being said, there were some parts that seemed to drag a little, but overall it flowed quite well. It is truly inspirational how Herrig has chosen to use her experiences as a catalyst to try to bring about change within the criminal justice system, to shine a light on the disproportionate ways in which society and our justice system treats those less fortunate, and this memoir is just one of the ways in which she is doing this.
If you are a fan of memoirs full of hard truths and positive outlooks, I would highly recommend No More Dodging Bullets. Thank you to the Cozy Mystery Review Crew for the opportunity to read and review this memoir; all opinions are my own.

‘Greed itself can be addicting’
Texas author Amy Herrig offers a memoir that serves as a testament to perseverance and the strength of the human soul. As the world and all of us in it deal with the current viral pandemic, this solid book provides a beacon of light and hope for overcoming the imposed threats and situations.
Amy opens her memoir boldly but with a shade of humor about a bad situation that hints at her ability to illuminate her story of faith, love, lesson, and growth: seated with her father awaiting a decision from the US Marshall’s in response to the allegations - ‘The Gas Pipe case was considered the nation’s largest synthetic marijuana prosecution’ – she states “I immediately thought that we wouldn’t be getting any sort of yellow prison uniform because we weren’t criminals. This ordeal we were going through would come and go quickly, and we would move on with our lives…’
From this arresting moment Amy accompanies us through her colorful life – the daughter of well to do hippie parents who ran a counterculture business. ‘We were vegetarians, marijuana smoking was embraced, nudity was perfectly acceptable, and “make love not war” was certainly the mindset.’ Her parent’s histories were ones of dysfunctional families due to alcoholism and abuse. Her father owned the Gas Pipe – ‘a store that sold smoking accessories, paraphernalia, and hippie gear’ that was to become a thriving, successful major business.
The condensed form of Amy’s life summarizes the high (and low) points – ‘After overcoming a heroin addiction in her teenage years and striving to move forward, Amy Herrig faced an entirely different addiction twenty years later: money. She and her father, Jerry Shults, were thriving as the owners of the Gas Pipe stores in Dallas, Texas, as well as other successful businesses, when a government lawsuit threatened to take everything -- their businesses, their money, and their freedom. Accused of crimes she hadn’t committed, Amy spent the next four years fighting to stay out of prison, but that wasn’t all she had to fight along the way. When one life-altering change after another shook up Amy’s world, she gained a new perspective on herself and on what matters most in life. From an exhausting and demoralizing situation came a new outlook of gratitude, but also remorse and humility. Although Amy’s actions in the past had not all been illegal, she had let the allure of money guide her decisions rather than using her moral compass; the shocking turn of events that resulted from those decisions led to profound changes and made a lasting impact on Amy’s life.’
In some writers’ hands life stories such as this become weighty. In Amy’s hands the moments of focus are so well related that her witness is impressive: with faith, love, and perseverance we can overcome any odds. Well timed, well written. Absorb!

No More Dodging Bullets by Amy Herrig is a memoir about all the things that have happened in her life. She grew up in a loving family, but like so many young people got mixed up with the wrong crowd. What follows is a downward spiral that, involving drugs. Dealing with her parents divorce, she final gets clean and has twins. She moves into a position working for the family business, and when the government arrives one day her world changes again in a minute. Amy shares her story in a way that makes us wonder how she ever found the strength and courage to face the upcoming years. She turns to her faith in GOD to get her through the upcoming trial, and the cancer diagnosis that she receives. I really enjoyed the book, I don't really read many books in this genre but it was surprising good. I would recommend it to others. I received a ARC from #Booktrib.com, and am not obligated to leave a favorable review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Amy's father and mother began their venture into the business world in the 1970s with the opening of their store, The Gas Pipe in Texas. (Supposedly it got its' name from the exposed gas pipes in the ceiling of the store.)
While reading her story, you get to feeling like you've known Amy and her family for years.
Amy shares deeply personal stories of her teenage years after her parents split up, and how she coped, or rather, didn't deal with that aspect of her life. She was in constant turmoil and couldn't seem to find a way out. Then she hit rock bottom. The only way to go was up, and her mother was there to help lead the way. Her story of self-growth, discovery, acceptance, and ultimately, forgiveness, is incredible.
Amy finally joined her father in the family business in 2005, after making significant lifestyle changes, getting married, and having twins! Flash forward to 2014, and both Amy and her father, Jerry, are charged with 17-count federal drug distribution and money laundering indictments. The maximum penalty, if they were charged and convicted of everything, is life in prison. Talk about a significant downfall! My jaw about dropped open reading her description of how it all played out!

Look Upwards
This is one amazing and eye opening book that deals with the strength of one family's family that against the government of the United States. The author fought bravely in the face of the obstacles life threw at her. Her faith is once again restored even after all the wrongs she was dealt by our judicial system. I praise her ability to continue to set forth more Christian charities n her strength n taking ahold of the bad circumstances she was tossed into and making those things turn into a great and powerful tribute to her life's endeavor. She n her Father rock!!!

Wow, what a story
A painfully honest woman shares the truly shocking story of the path her life has taken that would crush a lot of people and understandably so. I did not want to like her initially, however came to tremendously admire her by the end.
This story also made my blood boil at the beyond despicable way our government treats its own citizens. This is not justice and, make no mistake about it, anyone could lose everything should the powers that be decide to take you down. What has happened to decency and honesty? Absolutely shocking and sickening.

Once I got started, I couldn't put this book down. Author Amy Herrig had EVERYTHING thrown at her all at once and it's fascinating to read and see how she managed to get through both government harassment and personal and professional crises with humor and grace. This inspiring book will keep you riveted and cheering for the woman who doesn't know what the words 'give up' mean.

January 21, 2021Not much sympathy
She states in her book that everyone else was selling synthetic marijuana BUT just because everyone else is doing it does not make it right. No matter how you label your product it was killing people. It was all about making money. They were not ignorant people. They knew better but did it anyway

It was good. Her memoir style at first was great. The trial matters very interesting. It is just she tells us what is happening with the legal analysis and then repeats that in the actual trial events. Repetitive, but still interesting.
