Cannot save text with double quotes in Rails ActiveRecord

Question

I have this text. . .

"I got them from the Wicked Witch of the East, when my house fell on her and killed her," she replied.

"Where did you get the mark upon your forehead?" continued the voice.

"That is where the Good Witch of the North kissed me when she bade me good-bye and sent me to you," said the girl.

Again the eyes looked at her sharply, and they saw she was telling the truth. Then Oz asked, "What do you wish me to do?"

"Send me back to Kansas, where my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are," she answered earnestly. "I don't like your country, although it is so beautiful. And I am sure Aunt Em will be dreadfully worried over my being away so long."

. . . which is placed on a textarea. But after saving it, this is the only part that is saved.

Send me back to Kansas, where my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are," she answered earnestly. "I don’t like your country, although it is so beautiful. And I am sure Aunt Em will be dreadfully worried over my being away so long.

This is the POST trace while saving it. . .

Parameters: {"commit"=>"Update", "blog"=>{"author"=>"anonymous", "body"=>"Send me back to Kansas, where my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are,\" she answered earnestly.  \"I don't like your country, although it is so beautiful.  And I am sure Aunt Em will be dreadfully worried over my being away so long.", "title"=>"The Wizard of Oz", "email"=>"[email protected]"}, "authenticity_token"=>"yMkgvsUX2wBjw2EMnbBBMEtGlCUaMcRPN/lyIhxEQ0Y=", "id"=>"3"}

I tried escaping the double quotes but still has this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Edited: Here's the form . . .

<% form_for(@blog) do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_messages %>

  <p>
    <%= f.label :title %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :title %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :body %><br />
    <%= f.text_area :body %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :author %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :author %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :email %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :email %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.submit 'Create' %>
  </p>
<% end %>

<%= link_to 'Back', blogs_path %>
