Corrected entry: Esther's Bible was brought with her from the institution in Estonia, but it is in English in the close up shots. Given the difficulty Kate had finding someone there who spoke English, it's unlikely their reading materials would be in English.

Correction: Esther lived with many families before making her way to the US and could have obtained it while living with one of them. She also worked as a child prostitute and could have received it as a gift or stolen it from one of her johns. The institute would be unlikely to not allow her to keep her Bible during her time there after she arrived. It's possible that it may have belonged to the institute and she stole it, but it's not a huge stretch to think they might keep an English copy for any patients that might want one. Given that Esther spoke English extremely well, it isn't a huge stretch of imagination to think she'd get an English Bible in Estonia somehow.
