They made mixes during their courtship, mixes for road trips, mixes for making out, mixtapes for sleeping, and finally mixtapes that Sheffield made while mourning the loss of Renee, who died just five years after the couple married at the age of 31. Sheffield uses 22 of the mixtapes he and Renee - also a music journalist - compiled during their relationship to tell their love story.
