Maria made hard choices to fix her young life. It's a tale of gangs, drive-bys and an El Camino.

In pictures: A map of the territory Maria's gang claimed. Also the Jack-in-the-Box burger joint that was Maria and S's HQ and source of sustenance. And a picture of Maria today, her face obscured.

The pictures are waiting for you on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Handle: @secretroompod.
