I have always loved & collected books - soft & hardback,
used and new, especially mystery's.  Over the years I
have read and collected mystery’s and books galore
which led me to open this bookstore.  
 "It's A Mystery"
offers Northwest Arkansas local and book readers a
location to browse, trade, purchase, and just relax while
looking for that special book or item!

AT THE BOTTOM
by Sheryl Schwartz
Life ties us all to a sinking anchor, seas roll
with waves of fear like thunder; what a price
we pay for glory, yet still it makes me wonder

Is this the bottom of my soul, the end of
what's to be if I ever make my peace, will I
ever really be free

Where do I go from here, how do I rise above

to find a better life, what's this thing called
love

At the bottom of this ocean I'm drowning in
my tears for me it's been eternity, yet only
34 years

Swim against the currents, I know I have to
try pray I find my way back home and live
before I die

The bottom of it all is where you have to start
to make it to the surface, the answer's in
your heart

It's an endless struggle, will it ever stop
just take it nice and steady, you'll make it to
the top

The bottom of the ocean is a dark and
lonely void keep your head above the water,
or you'll go paranoid

The day you surface from the sea is when
you know you've won that's when your
anchor rises, to your raisin in the sun.
