~ The opening two paragraphs ring true. The following three paragraphs seem out of context with the first two.

3)The more I thought about it, the more certain I was I never had a conversation about skinning snakes with anyone except my father. Whatever happened in the past with Tom was extremely serious.

4)After I was abducted, chained and raped for three/four days in the projects as a child, I had the same difficulty being able to remember their faces as I had with my previous encounter with Tom.

5)It looked like my only way out of there was my impending death. I made every attempt to act like I was there willingly. The more it came across that I wanted to be there, the less violent he was.

Move re-arrange them and alter the wording on #2:

4)As a child I had been abuducted, chained and raped for three/four days in the projects, I had the same difficulty then being able to remember their faces as I was now, trying to remember from where I knew Tom.

~Who appeared older, Anny or Luciana? What age group was Tom, in comparison to his sisters?

~My stepfather came over and asked him if he was going to put in the windshield or not. To placate my stepfather he put in the windshield, but the same day he removed the coil wire, so that it wouldn't run.
up until this point, he has always been referred to as Dan. By putting this title on him, you are showing that he was showing care and concern for you, perhaps at the suggestion of your mother, showing this helps to build his character. Was he a good guy, or bad guy, or not relevant at all? Also, why is this in bold print...

~very little time passage is shown. At the start of this chapter two months have gone by. After that, we get On a Saturday...how do you know it was Saturday? How long had you been captive before you asked for a job?

~ concerning the visit to the lowlands:
Tom was gone for long periods of time. ( shows he was gone more than once, but over what type of time period. Again we need something to represent time passage. How long were you in the lowlands during this visit?)

~What were they doing?" (Your alarmed reaction was wrong here and you must have instantly known it and tried to cover what actually happened here? More detail. Also the next part about Oxycontin, how did she know that is what it was? Did she see him take it? This is all assumed and left out, the reader has know way of seeing the connection.

~Lions should be mountain lions so as not to confuse the reader.
~Take the note to self out, it isn't duplicated elsewhere.
~What is the GI lab, the average Joe doesn't know. I didn't and still don't.

A very informative chapter, but again this would be a good place to show a passage of time.
