All of the characters are effected by events in their past and when they come back to haunt them. Not many of the events are things that happen in present day. Lily was effected by the fact that she killed her mother, may was effected because her twin sister died and it was as if she had lost her other half. Although there is many present time events occurring, they are all effected by the past. The author always gives you background so that you really know the person and where they are coming from.
