“If I’ve learned anything over the years,” Marcus said. “It’s that the way that the world should be and the way it is are two separate things.”
Janae Marks, On Air with Zoe Washington

“Maybe it’s ok to do something wrong if you’re doing it for the right reason.”
Janae Marks, From the Desk of Zoe Washington

“Do you think you can forgive Marcus now?” “Oh, honey,” she said, putting her hand on my shoulder. “If Marcus really is innocent, I hope you will forgive me for keeping him from you all these years. I hope you understand why I did it, that I was only trying to protect you. I still am, the best way I know how.”
Janae Marks, From the Desk of Zoe Washington
