Goodreads asked Lynn Hightower:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lynn Hightower Oh, THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT. I was wondering what happened to people who were possessed as children, and had Exorcisms. Did it still haunt them? Was it a big secret? Are they okay?
The research astounded me. How many people feel oppressed by demonic entities. How much demand there is for Exorcism. That Exorcism is now and official condition in the DSM, treated by psychiatrist and Exorcists. Who are in great demand. The signs of possession in the brain on an MRI.
And my hero, Noah Archer was born. Possessed as a boy, underwent an Exorcism...which freed him and made him whole. But always vulnerable. And now a neurosurgeon...with a research project to help people feeling oppressed. That shows great promise...and goes very wrong...
Lynn
