FORT WALTON BEACH — Mark Conte of Fort Walton Beach has released a book for families and children called "The Easter Lamb."

In the novel, the Vianello family custom is to buy a live lamb on the morning of Good Friday, fatten it up, slaughter it on Saturday night and serve it for Easter dinner. 

However, this year, the children fall in love with the lamb, which they have named Delilah, and devise a plan to save it from being their Easter dinner.

The book costs $6.99 and is available at Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and booksamillion.com.
