How do I make this paragraph flow better?

Jack and his mother, Rosemary, have a very strong relationship. Jack’s birth name was originally Toby since he was starting a new life, in a new state he wanted a transformation; changing his name to Jack. At first his mother didn’t like the idea but soon gave in “She finally agreed” (Wolff 8). Early in the book they show a father figure, Roy. He is Rosemary’s abusive boyfriend who followed them from Florida all the way to Utah. Roy does not like Jack, but befriends him to get closer to Rosemary. He did this when he gave Jack his rifle and used it to spy and follow her home from work. The depiction of Roy seems as if he sees them as a game like hide and seek. This all ends when Rosemary and Jack decide to flee again to Seattle, Washington. From this point on Roy does not appear to look for them throughout the entire book.
