NEW YORK (AP) — Billie Jean King has a memoir coming this summer, and she calls it a journey to her “authentic self.”

Alfred A. Knopf announced Thursday that “All In: An Autobiography” will be published Aug. 17. It will cover the highlights of her celebrated and groundbreaking tennis career, including her 39 Grand Slam titles and her defeat of Bobby Riggs in the famous “Battle of the Sexes” match in 1973.

King, 77, will also write about her activism on behalf of women in tennis and beyond, and such private struggles as an eating disorder and acknowledging her sexual identity. She was married to Larry King (no relation to the late broadcaster) for more than a decade before being outed in 1981. She has said she did not feel entirely comfortable being gay until she was 51.

“Early on, what was most apparent to me was that the world I wanted didn’t exist yet,” King writes in her book, according to an excerpt provided by Knopf. “It would be up to my generation to create it.”

King is also the author of “Pressure is a Privilege: Lessons I’ve Learned from Life and the Battle of the Sexes,” released in 2008. King published a memoir in the early 1980s, “Billie Jean King: The Autobiography,” but says she rushed it out at the urging of her then-manager, who was concerned about her finances in the wake of her outing.

“That book was incomplete and written at a moment when I was not ready to share my truth,” she said in a statement to The Associated Press. ”‘All In’ is the first portrait of my life in full, told in my own words.”

“All In” is being edited by Jonathan Segal, who has worked on memoirs by Andre Agassi and Arthur Ashe.

As the pro tennis world was converging on Paris for this year’s later-than-usual French Open, a legend of the sport was here in Richmond to seal the deal on the highest-priced home sale in the region last month.

Billie Jean King was in town two weeks ago to sign off on the $2 million sale of 301 Lock Lane, the former Windsor Farms home of her friends Barbara and John (“Jack”) Clark, who had housed King there 50 years earlier when she was competing in the inaugural Virginia Slims Invitational at The Westwood Club.

The couple remained friends with King thereafter, so much so that she was made the executor of Barbara’s estate, said listing agent Laura Peery with The Steele Group Sotheby’s International Realty. Jack, a local businessman, died in 2013.

Peery said Barbara, who is moving to an assisted living facility, had been involved in promoting the 1970 Philip Morris-supported tournament and offered their home as lodging for two of the players. They turned out to be King, who went on to win the singles tournament, and her doubles partner, Rosemary (“Rosie”) Casals, who won the doubles event with King.

“They became fast friends and began a lifelong friendship,” Peery said, adding that King through the years would return to the house to stay with the Clarks when she was in Richmond.

“They’ve traveled together, and she’s the power of attorney for Barbara and was very much involved in me getting this whole process to fruition,” Peery said of King.

King signed the paperwork that closed the sale on Sept. 25, a half century after she first stayed in the house and nearly 50 years to the day of the formation of the Virginia Slims circuit, when she and eight other players, known as the “Original 9,” signed $1 contracts that later led to the launch of the Women’s Tennis Association.

In videos that Peery has shared on social media, King said it was sad to sell the house that contained so many memories, though she noted that the family who bought it will be making new ones.

“It’s sad, but the home looks beautiful,” King says in one of the clips. “I know the next family that’s going to be here, they have lots of children, and they have eight bedrooms now. We had a good time here. We had a great time.”

City property records show the house was bought through a trust for Lindsey C. Arrington, who was represented in the purchase by Catie Wilton with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate. Wilton said her clients had no comment.

The property includes a brick patio and pool beside Charles Gillette-designed gardens.

Ballou-designed house

Totaling eight bedrooms with six bathrooms and two half-baths, the 6,200-square-foot colonial was built in 1937 and designed by Louis Ballou, a noted Richmond architect. The 2½-story house totals a dozen rooms over four floors of living space, including a recently renovated au pair suite.

The house was designed by noted architect Louis Ballou.

Peery said the Clarks entertained at the house often and hosted a number of notable guests, King the most famous among them. Others included jazz musicians who would jam with Jack in the so-called “band room.” Jack also was instrumental in starting the first Richmond Jazz Festival, according to his obituary.

Jack retired in 1996 as president of John H. Frischkorn Inc., a local wholesale pipe supplier founded by his grandfather that in 2005 merged with Ferguson Enterprises. The couple purchased the home in 1978 for $255,000, property records show.

The latest city assessment valued the Lock Lane property at $1.63 million. Peery listed the house in March with an asking price of $2.49 million before reducing it three times through mid-August, when it went under contract the day after being priced at $2.15 million. Online real estate data shows the house was under contract once before that and was later relisted.

The house’s original listing on March 19 coincided with the start of the pandemic-induced national shutdown, which Peery said contributed to its turnaround.

“We listed it right when things were shutting down. That was mostly why it took a while,” she said. “The bones of the property are phenomenal. It’s not a turnkey property like some buyers want these days, but in terms of the classic style and the bones, it’s just supreme.”

As for King, in another video clip recorded at the house, she said she’s happy to be leaving the house to its new owners.

“The home is absolutely immaculate and beautiful and ready for a family to move in,” King said, standing at the house alongside Peery and builder-designer Blair Dobbins, who is part of Peery’s real estate team. “It’s our last day here. It’s difficult, but I know it’s in good hands.”
